Welcome to my homepage. I am an associate professor at the Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. My research is about the mathematical foundations of machine learning.

Research Interests in Mathematical Machine Learning

  • The mathematics of explainable machine learning
  • Adaptive methods in online convex optimization and prediction with expert advice
  • Faster-than-minimax rates for ‘easy data’ in statistical and online learning
  • PAC-Bayesian concentration inequalities
  • Statistical learning theory, frequentist analysis of Bayesian methods
