About

I’m a tenured senior research scientist at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project, affiliated with the Adaptive Bayesian Intelligence team and a core member of the Bayes Duality project. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher working with Emtiyaz Khan. I completed my PhD in the Computer Vision Group at TU Munich under the guidance of Daniel Cremers.

My current research focuses on the design and analysis of new algorithms to improve deep learning via Bayesian principles.
