Anya is originally from Oxford and completed an integrated Master’s in information and Computer Engineering at the University of Cambridge, where she focussed on stochastic processes, computational methods, and machine learning. For her masters project she worked on automatic speech recognition, specifically with the goal of improving the efficiency of decoding in neural transducers. Anya has previously worked in software engineering companies in Bristol and Bangalore, and with the CBL group in Cambridge on identifiability in variational autoencoders.
She joins StatML hoping to study Bayesian experimental design and non-stationarity in reinforcement learning. In her spare time, amongst other things Anya enjoys painting, windsurfing, and more recently kitesurfing.
