Current Role

Postdoctoral researcher at the ELLIS Institute Finland and the Probabilistic ML group at Aalto University. Our main focus is scaling deep learning to solve probabilistic machine learning tasks, tackling challenges such as efficient inference, out-of-distribution generalization, reasoning capabilities inspired by LLMs, and conditioning on multiple datasets.
