Tim Z. Xiao
PhD student at University of Tübingen & International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems
Hello! I am Tim, also known as Zhenzhong Xiao (肖镇中 in Chinese). Currently, I am doing my PhD in machine learning at the University of Tübingen with Robert Bamler, and as a visiting PhD student at MPI-IS Tübingen with Weiyang Liu and Bernhard Schölkopf.
Previously, I did a MRes Computational Statistics and Machine Learning at UCL with David Barber and a MSc in Computer Science at the University of Oxford with Yarin Gal. Prior to that I studied computer science at the University of Manchester for my undergraduate. At the time, I also had a one year industrial placement with Morgan Stanley, during which I worked with a global team to create tools for managing and monitoring the cloud platform with a huge number of servers located around the world.
Just like many computer scientists, I have faith in computing. Although computation will not solve all problems for you, I believe it will certainly take you closer to the answers.
At the moment, I am very interested in Machine Learning, a field that has amazing impacts on human life.
