We are researchers coming from varied backgrounds, including Computer Science, Maths & Stats, Engineering, and Physics.
We come from academia (Oxford, Cambridge, MILA, Manchester, U of Amsterdam, U of Toronto, U of Cape Town, Yale, and others) and industry (Google, DeepMind, Twitter, Qualcomm, and startups).
Current and former members include Rhodes Scholars, Clarendon Scholars, DeepMind Scholars, one cancer research UK Scholar, with our students funded by many additional sources (AIMS CDT, Cyber CDT, industry, and more). If you'd like to join us take a look here.
