[03/24, Grant] Secured funds from EPSRC and industry partners to build a CDT for ML Systems.

I am deeply thrilled to have secured an EPSRC grant (£8.7M) matched with £9.2M from industry partners to establish a Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in ML Systems. This grant is co-led by Amos Storkey (PI), Mike O’Boyle (co-I), Ajitha Rajan (co-I), and myself (co-I). With this CDT, we are one of the few places in the world capable of creating the critical mass of talent, skills, and resources needed to incubate game-changing technologies for ML systems.

Through this CDT, PhD students will have the opportunity to build expertise across the entire AI system stack—spanning models, algorithms, software, hardware, and large-scale clusters. The CDT is supported by UK EPSRC and over 20 industry partners, with that number still growing.
