Maike Osborne
Also known as Michael A. Osborne
Osborne researches Bayesian optimization, Gaussian processes, Bayesian quadrature and probabilistic numerics. These methods represent uncertainty in learning and numerical computation. Her work includes applications in battery modeling and quantum-device tuning. She co-founded Mind Foundry, served as its chief science officer, and coauthored a Probabilistic Numerics textbook. Osborne is an Oxford machine-learning professor and leads the Bayesian Governance Lab. She also works on AI safety, the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative and doctoral training in autonomous systems.
