Claudio Fanconi
Ph.D. Student in Machine Learning, University of Cambridge
Hello! I am first year Ph.D. student in Machine Learning and AI for Medicine at the University of
Cambridge advised by Mihaela
van der Schaar.
Previously, I graduated with a Bachelor's and Master's from ETH
Zürich in Information Technology and Electrical Engineering with a focus on Machine Learning (ML). I
wrote my Master's thesis in the Boussard Lab at
Stanford, researching predictive uncertainty and natural language processing to identify patients at risk of
acute care use.
I am passionate about:
(i) the application of ML in a highly sensitive environment such as medicine
(ii) uncertainty estimation with Bayesian models
(iii) the interpretability of modern deep learning architectures.
Reach out to me with anything you want to talk about!
