Charlie B. Tan
DPhil Student @ University of Oxford

Hi there! I’m Charlie, a third-year DPhil Computer Science student at the University of Oxford. I’m interested in learned samplers—generative methods for drawing samples from Boltzmann densities. My research is supervised by Prof. Michael Bronstein and Dr. Alex Tong.
I’m currently visiting the Mila - Quebec AI Institute, where I am hosted by Dr. Kirill Neklyudov. Last summer I interned at InstaDeep, working on generative protein sequence modeling.
Prior to Oxford, I studied the MPhil in Advanced Computer Science at the University of Cambridge, graduating with distinction. Whilst in Cambridge my research focused on deep learning theory, and was supervised by Prof. Ferenc Huszár.
