Research interests: My research interests are mainly in the area of Machine
Learning, e.g. Kernel Methods, Pattern Analysis, Learning Theory, Optimization
for Big Data and Probabilistic Bayesian Models. I also have strong interests in Machine
Learning applications in computer vision, bioinformatics and social computing.
The goal of my research is to address the computational and statistical
challenges arising in modern data analysis, helping the discovery of hidden
information in big and complex data.
Potential graduate students: I am
looking for highly motivated students interested in Machine Learning. Applications should come through the online
application system. Studentships are available, please check here for details. For overseas students, please be aware
of the minimum
English requirements. Students
from China can also apply for scholarships from the China Scholarship Council (CSC) to study PhD
in Exeter. Please contact me if you have any inquiries.
