Biography

I am a PhD student in Machine Learning at University of Cambridge (Computational and Biological Learning Lab). My supervisors are Professor Guillaume Hennequin and Dr Alberto Bernacchia. Prior to my PhD, I completed MPhil in Machine Learning and Machine Intelligence at University of Cambridge, supervised by Prof Richard Turner. I also obtained a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from University of Singapore, supervised by Prof Vincent Tan.

My current project studies meta-learning from a dual machine-learning and biological perspective. My research interests also include probabilistic modelling, explainable AI and causal inference. I aim to develop trustworthy algorithms that combine fast and transferable learning, robustness, and interpretability.
