Research Interests

My research primarily surrounds fundamental aspects of methodology in Probabilistic Machine Learning and related fields. I am also interested in the application and development of extensions of such advanced methods and techniques with the goal of solving complicated and interesting scientific problems and/or developing advanced artificial intelligence systems!

Some topics I have worked/published/am working on: Monte Carlo Methods, Deep Generative Models, Bayesian Statistics, Variational Inference, Representation Learning, Federated Learning & Privacy Enhancing Technologies, Time Series Analysis, Kernel Methods, Variance Reduction, Likelihood-Free Models, Particle Filters, and Rare-Event Simulation.
