About Me

Hello and welcome to my website! I’m a second-year PhD student in the ML@CL group at the University of Cambridge, supervised by Professor Ferenc Huszár.

My research focuses on explaining emergent abilities of LLMs, such as in‑context learning and out‑of‑distribution generalisation, as well as related foundational questions in (algorithmic) information theory.

Previously, I did an MPhil in Machine Learning and Machine Intelligence in Cambridge, where I worked on PAC-Bayes and optimisation. Prior to that, I was an undergraduate in Mathematics at Imperial College London.

You can find my publications here or on my Google Scholar page.
