AI can be an agent for positive societal impact and change. To achieve this, we need to make sure we achieve the highest levels of safety and security.
I am co-founder and Chief Scientist at Lakera.
Prior to starting Lakera I worked at Google, where I built web-scale systems in a highly critical environment. I spent time as a Quant at Credit Suisse in London, researched at Facebook, and built large language models at Cantab Research, now Speechmatics.
I received my PhD in Machine Learning from the University of Cambridge and the Max Planck Institute in Tübingen, supervised by Bernhard Schölkopf and Richard Turner. My thesis focused on transfer learning and how causality can be used to bridge the gap between training data and an ever changing real world. I also worked on learning with few data points, fairness, and deep learning for biology applications.
I hold a Masters in Advanced Study in Mathematics with distinction from the University of Cambridge and an Engineering degree from Ecole des Ponts ParisTech.
