Postdoc with CWI and Booking.com working with Prof. Wouter Koolen and Dr. Christina Katsimerou on Best-Arm Identification.

I finished my PhD as part of the ELLIS program supervised by Nicolò Cesa-Bianchi and Gergely Neu working on adversarial bandits and am expected to defend my thesis in October 2024.

Before that, I graduated with an MSc in “Data Science and Machine Learning” from UCL with Distinction in 2021 and an BSC in “Mathematics” from Lancaster University with First-Class Honours in 2020.

In my free time I enjoy playing guitar and chess.
