Ilan is a mathematics doctoral student at the Mathematical Institute and the Alan Turing Institute. His technical research focusses on mathematical theory for understanding the expressivity and robustness of deep neural networks. Hi is also a co-director of the Rhodes Artificial Intelligence Lab, which puts together interdisciplinary teams to take on projects centered on machine learning and AI for social good. Outside of the technical realm of the exciting prospects for machine learning, he is interested in how to combat the risks of a dangerous and/or exclusionary trajectory for these technologies.
