Research Scientist

I am a research scientist at the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab in Cambridge, MA where I work on building machines with child-like common sense using probabilistic modeling and Bayesian inference. Before this, I was a PhD student in the Informatics Forum, University of Edinburgh, where I worked with Dr. Charles Sutton and Dr. Michael U. Gutmann on variational inference for generative models using deep learning.
