Machine learning, Gaussian Process, Bayesian Optimization, Adaptive Importance Sampling

I am a final year PhD student from the OxWaSp program, supervised by Professor Yee Whye Teh. My research interests lie in the field of machine learning. In Particular, I have completed several projects in Tucker Gaussian Processes, Relativistic Monte Carlo for Bayesian inference and Bayesian Optimization on combinatorial spaces. Currently I am working on the exploration-exploitation in adaptive importance sampling, from the view of a multi-armed bandit problem.
