About Me
I am currently a post doc in the Machine Learning department at Carnegie Mellon University, where I work with Eric Xing in the SAILING laboratory. Prior to this, I was a PhD student at the University of Cambridge, working with Zoubin Ghahramani in the Computational and Biological Learning group, in the Department of Engineering.
Research interests
I am interested in nonparametric Bayesian methods for use in machine learning applications. In particular, I am interested in dependent nonparametric processes -- distributions over collections of measures indexed by values in some covariate space -- and in nonparametric latent variable models.
