David Yallup

I'm a postdoctoral researcher in probabilistic machine learning at the Kavli Institute for Cosmology, University of Cambridge, and a Research Scientist at PolyChord Ltd. I'm a member of Will Handley's research group, and a College Research Associate at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. My work focuses on GPU-accelerated Bayesian inference and generative AI for the physical sciences, leading development of open-source JAX libraries used across academia and industry. I completed my PhD at UCL on the ATLAS experiment at CERN.
