Gbètondji Dovonon | PhD Computer Science Foundational AI CDT at UCL

I am a second year PhD student at the UCL FAI CDT and ELLIS, supervised by Matt Kusner and Michael Bronstein. I also do Bayesian Optimisation research at Matterhorn Studio.

Previously I was a MSc student at the African Masters of Machine Intelligence, and a research intern at the Vector Institute with Rahul G. Krishnan working on uncertainty measurement for generalization. I obtained my BSc in Computer Science from Ashesi University in 2020.

I am broadly interested in modeling techniques that use the (sometimes implicit) structures present in data generating processes, datasets, and models’ internal representations. More specifically, at the moment, I am interested in understanding and improving message passing models, domain generalisation and adaptation, and multi-fidelity Bayesian optimisation
