I am a Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind. My primary research interests include information theory, AI ethics, and computational biology.

Previously, I was an Associate Professor at King's College London's Department of Informatics, where I led a lab focused on causal machine learning and tractable probabilistic inference. I completed my doctorate on explainable AI at the University of Oxford, and was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Statistical Science at University College London. I have served on the editorial boards of Philosophy & Technology and Minds & Machines.

TL;DR – I am passionate about developing rigorous, interpretable methods for analyzing complex systems in the natural and social sciences.

When I’m not doing research, I like to play music and get real worked up about my favorite (and least favorite) books, plays, and movies.

Unrelatedly, here are some people and things I think are very cool:
-Heraclitus
-Hard bop
-Susan Sontag
-Revolution
-Empanadas
