Senior Data Scientist
Djordje Benn-Maksimovic¶
Senior Data Scientist with a background in physics, economics, and information technology. My work currently focuses on robust & secure machine learning as well as verification & validation of AI systems. I have contributed to research and industry projects for public sector clients.
About¶
I studied physics at St. Hilda’s College, Oxford before my graduate studies in economics and management science at Humboldt University, Berlin. My professional experience spans consulting, software engineering, and data science.
-
Robust & secure ML¶
Building machine-learning systems that behave predictably under distribution shift, adversarial pressure, and operational stress.
-
Verification & validation of AI¶
Designing processes for the verification and validation of software systems containing AI, focussing on evaluation of data quality, explainability methods and systematic weakness evaluation.
-
Applied research → production¶
Translating recent research into deployable patterns for public sector clients.
Areas of interest¶
-
Constrained generation¶
Constrained generation for multimodal models - VLMs / LLMs / SLMs - beyond simple JSON schemas.
-
Structured information extraction¶
Extracting structured, reliable information of any kind from unstructured data.
-
Synthetic image data generation¶
Designing pipelines that produce diverse synthetic imagery for downstream training and evaluation of edge cases and underrepresented classes.
-
Knowledge graphs & graph analytics¶
Modelling connected data with knowledge graphs and applying graph analytics to explore relationships at scale.
