Guneet S. Dhillon
DPhil Student @ University of Oxford
I am currently pursuing a DPhil in Statistics at the University of Oxford. My thesis topic is Robust Machine Learning: A Predictive and Generative Perspective, supervised by Prof. Yee Whye Teh and Prof. Tom Rainforth, along with Prof. George Deligiannidis and Prof. Arnaud Doucet. I am also the recipient of the prestigious Clarendon Fund Scholarship, with only one awardee from the Department of Statistics in my year.
Before starting my DPhil, I spent 3 years as an Applied Scientist at Amazon Web Services, Inc. I have also done industrial research internships at Microsoft Research, Boson AI USA Inc., and CognitiveScale.
I hold a BSc in Computer Science with Honors (Turing Scholars Honors) and a BSc in Mathematics with Honors from the University of Texas at Austin. My undergraduate honours thesis was on Training Ising Models on Images using Sparsitron, supervised by Prof. Adam Klivans. During this period, I also completed a Certificate in Applied Statistical Modeling and a Minor in Economics.
