| Summary | Data Scientist / Machine learning researcher with a strong foundation in mathematical modelling and probabilistic methods, recently completing an M.Sc. in Mathematical Modelling and Computation with top grades. My work focuses on generative modelling, Bayesian inference, uncertainty quantification, and stochastic processes, including research on variational diffusion models and Laplace-based Bayesian neural networks. I bring extensive experience working with large, complex real-world datasets from a prior career in quantitative public data analysis, where I designed data workflows, built analytical pipelines, and delivered data-driven insights at national and regional scale. |
