DrFrancesco Sanna Passino

I am an Associate Professor in Statistics in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London. 

I am also Programme Director for the MSc Machine Learning and Data Science (MLDS), and Deputy Director for Industry Engagement and Partnership Development for the EPSRC CDT in Statistics and Machine Learning (StatML).

My research focuses on statistical and machine learning methodology motivated by complex real-world problems, applied to areas such as cyber-security and biology. I work primarily on probabilistic models for dynamic and multiplex networks, temporal point processes and time series, and textual data. More recently, I have also become interested in modern mathematical and statistical challenges arising in the analysis and understanding of large language models and related generative AI systems.
