I lead the ML team at PolyAI working on conversational AI in research and production. I also lecture the joint NLP course for ML Master’s programs at Warsaw University and Jagiellonian University. I am passionate about everything that is related to applied mathematics, statistics, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

I did my PhD in Dialogue Systems Group at Cambridge University working on long-term conversational agents jointly supervised by prof. Rich Turner and prof. Anna Korhonen. I also had a chance to work with prof. Milica Gašić.

Prior to that, I was working on training deep belief networks using high-temperature expansion being supervised by prof. Rich Turner and advised by Nilesh Tripuraneni. For my bachelor, I graduated in mathematics from Adam Mickiewicz University.
