Hugo Queniat

I am a second-year PhD student in the Statistics CDT at the University of Warwick working under the joint supervision of Prof. Gareth Roberts and Dr Nick Tawn. My research interests lie at the interface of learning and sampling. Currently, I am working on tempering techniques to sample from multimodal target distributions. My work is part of the OCEAN research grant.

Prior to joining the University of Warwick, I completed the MRes. Mathematics Vision Learning organized by ENS Paris-Saclay. My Master's thesis, titled "On the Limits and Extensions of the Annealed Leap-Point Sampler", was completed here in Warwick and supervised by Prof. Gareth Roberts. It focused on the Annealed Leap-Point Sampler, studying its applicability to the sampling from distributions exhibiting non smooth and/or non regular modes. At the same time, I completed the MSc in Engineering from Télécom Paris.

Outside academia, I am an avid Motorsports fan, particularly Formula 1. I represent Warwick Motorsports in the British Universities Karting Championship and I am a semi-professional simracer.
