Georgios Batzolis
PhD student at the University of Cambridge
I am currently a 4th year PhD student at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge, under the supervision of Prof. Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb. My research focuses on generative modeling, with a particular emphasis on diffusion models.
Recently, I have become deeply interested in disentangled representation learning and the extraction of data manifold properties from pretrained generative models, including diffusion models and normalizing flows. Additionally, I have been exploring the fascinating area of Schrödinger Bridges.
