Interests

My research interests are broadly in AI & machine learning with a particular focus on relational learning & reasoning, which includes a class of challenging problems that can be naturally characterised on relational structures, such as graphs, knowledge bases, or more general logical representations. The goal is being able to more efficiently and reliably learn from relational patterns and reason over them. This is a highly interactive field, where techniques from machine learning (e.g., deep learning, graph representation learning, probabilistic inference), knowledge representation (e.g., logical reasoning), and theoretical computer science (complexity theory, graph theory) are relevant.

Note: If you are interested in applying for a DPhil, please get in touch beforehand. It might also be helpful to have a brief look at my graph representation learning course.
