Who Am I?#
I am Dan, and I am a PhD student at University of York, UK. I am originally from Manchester and that is also where I achieved my Bachelors at MMU. I play basketball and played american football (in the past, not anymore). Here are a few random pictures of me:
My PhD is in safe artificial intelligence with a focus on safe reinforcement learning. I particularly enjoy the challenge of safe exploration in black-box environments, but in general I enjoy a myriad of topics like uncertainty quantification, continual learning, causality, etc.
