Luka Kovačević
I’m a third-year PhD student in Biostatistics at Clare Hall, and the MRC Biostatistics Unit under the supervision of Professor John Whittaker and Professor Sach Mukherjee, where I work on causal machine learning methods for genomics. My interests are in developing models for predicting and understanding interventions using tools from causality, Bayesian statistics, and machine learning.
Last year I spent 6 months at Relation Therapeutics as a Machine Learning Research Intern. I’ve worked on adaptive clinical trial methodology at the MRC BSU and uncertainty quantification for COVID-19 forecasting at the S3RI in collaboration with PHE and Dstl. I hold an MSc in Statistical Science from the University of Oxford and a BSc in Mathematics with Computer Science from the University of Southampton.
