Hi there! I am an M.Phil graduate and IT Support Services Officer at the Univeristy of Sydney. My research revolved around artificial intelligence within the FSA lab team. My research interests include natural language models, text-to-image diffusion, systems and sparsity. I am a member of the FSA group within the university, which deals with system architectures and consists of an amazing collection of minds who contribute to a vast space of topics within the computer architecture and system fields. I also work at the FMH Media Lab based in the University of Sydney. Here we work on a variety of new and foundational technologies for the future including areas such as Virtual Reality, Simulations and Artificial Intelligence.

The Case for Sparse Pattern Based Bayesian Neural Networks
The overconfidence of DNNs has attributed to the recent trend towards stochastic machine learning with uncertainty quantification becoming an important requirement across many different tasks. As stated, the ability for a network to give an interpretation and provide statistical insights of its predictions is critical across numerous application domains.
