About
I'm a Research Scientist at Mistral AI, working on multi-modal language models.
Previously, I completed a PhD in the VGG at Oxford University, working on representation learning in computer vision, where I was fortunate to be supervised by Andrew Zisserman and Andrea Vedaldi. During my PhD, I also spent time at Meta AI (FAIR): first with Ishan Misra in New York, and then in the Segment Anything team with Ross Girshick.Research
