If you are looking for a PhD position at the intersection of Bayesian statistics and machine learning, consider getting in touch with me! I'm building a research group on generalised Bayesian methods with applications in ML at UCL over the coming years.

I'm on the academic job market! I design and analyze probabilistic machine-learning methods---motivated by real-world scientific constraints, and developed in collaboration with scientists in biology, chemistry, and physics. A few highlights of my research areas are:

I am pleased to share our new NeurIPS paper for online Bayesian inference for neural networks. Instead of focusing on updating the parameter posterior, we work with the predictive posterior (which makes much more sense for non-identifiable models, and gives us more algorithmic

The application for a research fellowship at the Flatiron Institute in the Center for Computational Math is now live! This includes positions for ML and stats. The deadline is Dec 1. Links below with more details.

Today is the day of the pre-ICML event at UCL! Come check out the exciting work from academics, industry researchers, postdocs and PhD students from around London: https://t.co/QcnFdzW5k4 @stats_UCL @uclcsml

Videos from the recent UCL workshop on ‘Advances in Post-Bayesian methods’ are now available on YouTube! Check these out if you couldn’t make it: https://t.co/lhUwKKlEWk @LauchLab @matialtamiranom

There’s been lots of interest in gradient flows, but I’ve been a bit sceptical as I wasn’t clear on the advantages. This paper shows that MMD gradient flows can integrate a large class of functions exactly without needing to converge to a global minimum: stationarity is enough!

🆕 The ELLIS Unit London (@ucl) will host the first workshop uniting disparate subfields of post-Bayesian methods, including PAC Bayes, generalized Bayes, predictive resampling, Martingale posteriors, and online learning. 📍 London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 📅 May 15-16 🔗

Don't miss the very first workshop on post-Bayesian methods at UCL on May 15-16. Registration is now open!

Looking forward to speaking at the Post-Bayes workshop in May!

We are excited to announce that registration for the inaugural post-Bayes workshop on May 15./16. at UCL is now open! Website: https://t.co/yxLvXcMubV Registration link:

Congratulations to @UCL / @stats_UCL's @matialtamiranom on being one of the 2024-2025 @Bloomberg #DataScience Ph.D. Fellows! Learn more about Matías’ research focus and our latest cohort of Ph.D. Fellows: https://t.co/JplPKeLkD4 #AI #ML #NLProc #NeurIPS2024

Super happy and grateful to be awarded the Bloomberg fellowship. Huge thanks to my amazing supervisors @LauchLab and @fx_briol , as well as all my collaborators for their support!

🥳🥳🥳Massive congratulations to my PhD student @matialtamiranom for winning one of the 3 Bloomberg Fellowships for his work on robust & efficient post-Bayesian methods! I cannot think of anyone more deserving!😊 Read more at

📢 Post-Bayesian online seminar series coming!📢 To stay posted, sign up at https://t.co/Tx3ecXKdC8 We'll discuss cutting-edge methods for posteriors that no longer rely on Bayes Theorem. (e.g., PAC-Bayes, generalised Bayes, Martingale posteriors, ...) Pls circulate widely!

Interested in reducing the computational cost of running simulations in simulation-based inference (SBI)? Check out our new “Cost-aware SBI” paper w. @DaolangHuang @samikaski @fx_briol https://t.co/jILDHZtv8g Thread👇

Recent work led by my PhD student Yann McLatchie & in collaboration with my amazing colleagues Edwin Fong and David Frazier.

If you thought that (1) the ‘cold posterior effect’ is unique to Bayesian deep learning or (2) the temperature in cold posteriors / power posteriors can be tuned to significantly improve the predictive capabilities of a (regular) model, think again. https://t.co/NnqGRUFyAc

Friends, I'm excited to share some professional news: - I'll be promoted to Associate Professor in October - my research won the Savage Award ( https://t.co/D3e0E4njGc) - I've started working at the nexus of ML & consumer/human rights with FoxGlove (NGO) and Leigh Day (law firm)

Applications are invited for 1 PhD Studentship (UK fee only) based at the Department of Statistical Science, University College London. The position can involve any topic within the Statistical Science remit. Deadline for applications: 16 August 2024 https://t.co/GlljgPyJGW
