I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Yoshua Bengio's group, at the Mila AI Institute. My current work focuses on learning representations, domain understanding, and generalization in deep models, as well as applications to drug discovery and robotics.
I am a former Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard, where I worked with Dr. Ming-Ru Wu on the application of AI in the biomedical field; a visiting research scientist at Never AI Labs working on robustness, and generalization in deep neural networks; and a former Postdoctoral Research Associate and Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Cambridge, where I worked with Prof. Fumiya Iida on machine learning for sensory perception and action in robotics systems.
I received my BEng in Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering in 2017 from the University of Edinburgh, where I graduated summa cum laude, obtaining the Class Award and Howe Prize as well as over 13 awards, 9 of which paid scholarships, for academic performance.
