I am a full Professor in the  department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge, where I lead the Cambridge Machine Learning Systems lab (CaMLSys). Our mission at CaMLSys is to invent the next-generation of breakthrough ML-centric systems. I am also a Fellow of St. John’s College.

Alongside my academic roles, I am the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Flower Labs, a venture-backed AI company (YCW23) behind the Flower federated learning framework. Flower Labs seeks to enable an AI future that is collaborative, open and distributed.
