Adam Ścibior

I am a PhD student at University of Cambridge (with Zoubin Ghahramani) and Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (with Bernhard Schölkopf) as a part of the Cambridge-Tübingen PhD programme.

My research focus is on probabilistic programming, in particular on exploiting composition of Bayesian inference algorithms. I am also broadly interested in functional programming and machine learning.
