Biography
I am an incoming Assistant Professor in Responsible Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge (Feb 2026 start).
Currently, I am an Assistant Research Professor and a Leverhulme Research Fellow in the Machine Learning Group at the University of Cambridge, a College Research Associate at King’s College Cambridge, and an Associate Fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence. I work on Responsible ML, focusing on high-stakes decision making in application areas such as criminal justice and social care where (i) decisions can be life-changing, (ii) individuals cannot opt out, (iii) protective legislation (e.g, GDPR) does not apply, and (iv) wrong predictions can cause significant harm.
Before Cambridge, I was a Research Fellow in Machine Learning at the University of Sussex, focusing on fairness, equality, and access. I obtained a PhD in Analytical Science (Physics) from the University of Warwick, hold an M.Sc. in Physics, and a dual B.Sc. in Physics and Biology from Tel Aviv University.
