Austin Tripp

Welcome to my website, thanks for visiting!

I am a PhD student in the machine learning group at the University of Cambridge. My research is on Bayesian machine learning algorithms for drug discovery and chemistry (more info here). Before my PhD, I completed my BASc in nanotechnology engineering at the University of Waterloo.

Click to learn more about me, see my CV, or read my blog where I [occasionally] write about math, science, language learning, and my miscellaneous adventures.

Consulting / employment

I am looking for jobs (starting late 2024) and am in principle open to do consulting work. Please email me if you think I could be a good fit.
