SHORT BIO

I am currently a tenure-track assistant professor at ETH Zürich in the Department of Computer Science where I am a member of the Institut für maschinelles Lernen. I was previously a Lecturer (that’s British for tenure-track assistant professor) at the Computer Laboratory (the oldest computer science department in the world) at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom where I am still affiliated. I have also done research stints at Google AI, Facebook AI Research and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
