I’m very excited to share that I have joined the Statistics and Data Science Group at the University of Birmingham as an assistant professor. I’ve learned so much working with @samikaski.bsky.social and all my colleagues at @aifunmcr.bsky.social - many thanks for all your support.

How can double descent phenomena impact our understanding of human psychology? We explore this question in a new BBS paper. I learned so much from this collaboration with @mdubova.bsky.social! BBS is accepting proposals for commentary articles until May 15. Let us know what you think!

Ever thought we acquire generalizable knowledge by discarding details and compressing our experiences? In a new BBS paper, @sabinasloman.bsky.social and I argue otherwise, proposing a novel way of studying human learning inspired by double descent in ML. Disagree? Propose a commentary by May 15 :)

If you're interested in Bayesian experimental design and model misspecification, check out our recent paper proposing a robust acquisition function: arxiv.org/abs/2506.07805. This work was led by Roubing Tang, who will present it at AISTATS2026! Joint work with Roubing and @samikaski.bsky.social

Representative, Informative, and De-Amplifying: Requirements for Robust Bayesian Active Learning under Model Misspecification

In many science and industry settings, a central challenge is designing experiments under time and budget constraints. Bayesian Optimal Experimental Design (BOED) is a paradigm to pick maximally infor...
