I am a full Professor at the Department of Computer Science, the University of Warwick, where I lead the ML Systems Lab. I am an academic lead of the Cyber Security Global Research Priorities at Warwick, and a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and AI. At the Turing, I am a member of the Turing Research Ethics (TREx) team, and an Independent Scientific Advisor for the BridgeAI programme.

Parallel to my academic roles, I am a Senior Research Scientist in Samsung AI Centre Cambridge, where I am affiliated with the Automated ML team.

Previously I was a postdoctoral researcher with the Cyber-Physical Systems Group in the Department of Computer Science (formerly known as the Computing Laboratory, or Comlab), University of Oxford. I studied Computer Science at Keble College, Oxford.

We have multiple openings for PhD/internship positions for 2024 entry. Scholarships available from various sources at Warwick. Please make contact for further information.
