Biography

Peter joined the group in 2012 as a DPhil student and was a member of St. Hilda’s College.

Peter had a strong background in algorithm design and his primary focus was on applications of Artificial Intelligence in robotics. His further research interests span areas as diverse as deep machine learning, inverse reinforcement learning, computer vision, planning and natural language processing.

Peter has done internships in Facebook, Google, Microsoft Research and MetaMind. In his free time he does competitive ballroom dancing and enjoys participation in algorithmic programming competitions like TopCoder and Codeforces where he enjoys notable success.
