Amon Elders is a PhD student in machine learning at the University of Oxford, supervised by Prof. Michael Osborne at the Computational and Biological Learning Lab. He received a $250,000 grant from the Long-Term Future Fund in May 2021 to support his PhD, which focuses on AI safety topics including robustness and distributional shift. He holds a Master's degree in Computer Science and Machine Learning (with distinction) from University College London (UCL). Prior to his PhD, he worked as an ML engineer at Spark Wave and completed a year-long research position at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, which resulted in a co-authored publication at AIES 2019 on multitask learning for fair classification.
