AML-TN’s research mobility program is officially underway! This spring, two students from our inaugural cohort recently travelled to Europe for their research stays.
Frederik Kunstner spent April 2024 between the Alan Turing Institute and the Isaac Newton Institute, where he worked with Jorge González-Cazares on the emergence of heavy-tails in optimization for machine learning and its impact on training. His time in the UK allowed him to collaborate closely with leading experts, deepen the theoretical foundations of his work, and bring fresh insights back to UBC.
Nathaniel Xu followed in May 2024 with a visit to Cambridge University, collaborating with David Ginsbourger on kernel methods and their applications in machine learning. Nathaniel’s stay gave him the chance to learn from one of the field’s foremost experts and engage with Cambridge’s vibrant research community.
Both experiences demonstrate how AML-TN connects students with leading experts, builds international networks, and helps translate research into meaningful impact.
