Each month, we provide up to £2,000 in grant money to early career researchers in quantitative disciplines.
Our aim is to support and assist PhD students and postdocs conducting research, particularly with costs that may be difficult to get funding for elsewhere, for example, travel for those who are caring for children, or expenses for volunteer work related to research.
Read on to hear from our latest winners, their research and how our grants will aid their work.
February grant winners
Krzysztof Kacprzyk (University of Cambridge)
“I am a final-year PhD student in Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge. My main research interest is developing safe, interpretable and flexible machine learning models for scientific applications. In particular, I focus on fully transparent models for time series forecasting that can be deployed in high-stakes settings such as healthcare and medicine.
“The grant from G-Research will support my participation in two upcoming conferences (ICLR 2025 and AISTATS 2025), where I will present my two recent papers: No Equations Needed: Learning System Dynamics Without Relying on Closed-Form ODEs and Beyond Size-Based Metrics: Measuring Task-Specific Complexity in Symbolic Regression.”
Maxence Faldor (Imperial College London)
“I am dedicated to pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence by creating AI systems that can learn, evolve and discover indefinitely.
“My work centres on open-ended learning and emergence, aiming to create systems that can adapt and continuously improve, much like biological systems.
“This grant from G-Research will support my attendance at ICLR 2025, where I will present two papers.”
Viggo Moro (University of Oxford)
“I’m a PhD student working on generative modelling with applications in life sciences and materials science.
“The G-Research grant will enable me to attend ICLR 2025, where I will present my latest paper.”
Congratulations to all of our grant winners.
