Opportunities:

I'm currently a supervisor in the doctoral training programme MAC-MIGS 2024+ (Maxwell Institute Graduate School in Modelling, Analysis and Computation). If you would like to join my research group as a PhD student, or are interested in doing a PhD in my areas of research in general, then I would encourage you to apply to MAC-MIGS 2024+.

If you would like to join my research group as a postdoc, you can have a look at fellowship opportunities here and get in touch with me to discuss. You might also be interested in the ProbAI Hub Doctoral Prize Fellowship.
