Masha Naslidnyk
đź“Ť PhD student @ UCL. She/her.
Hi! I am a PhD student at the Fundamentals of Statistical Machine Learning research group and the Foundational AI CDT at University College London, advised by F-X Briol, Jeremias Knoblauch, and Carlo Ciliberto. Prior to starting my PhD, I was a Machine Learning Scientist at Amazon Research in Cambridge, where I worked on Alexa question answering (2015-2019), and then on Gaussian processes for supply chain emulation (2019-2021). I graduated from Part III in Pure Mathematics at the University of Cambridge in 2014.
My research interests lie broadly in the topics in Gaussian processes and kernel methods; at present, I am focussed on robust inference in conditional probability models.
I will happily respond to “Masha”, but if you’d like to pronounce my last name, it’s nah-sleed-nyk.
