About

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher working with Prof. Samuel Kaski at the Department of Computer Science, Aalto University, Finland, affiliated with the Probabilistic Machine Learning research group and the Finnish Centre for Artificial Intelligence. Starting September 2024, I will begin my new position as the Academy Research Fellow at Aalto University, supported by by the Research Council of Finland.

My primary research area is simulation-based inference (or likelihood-free inference) methods, such as approximate Bayesian computation. I am interested in developing inference methods that are:

• robust to model misspecification
• sample efficient

Previously, I was employed as a PhD fellow at the Department of Electronic Systems, Aalborg University, Denmark, from Nov 2017 to March 2021. My PhD topic was on making approximate Bayesian computation methods for estimating parameters of stochastic models in the field of radio propagation. I obtained the M.Sc. degree in Signal Processing and Computing from Aalborg University in 2017, and the B.E. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences, Pilani in 2015.
