Edward Wagstaff is a Machine Learning Scientist and Oxford PhD candidate with 11 years of industry experience, combining rigorous academic research under Mike Osborne with practical engineering chops from multi-year software roles. Based in Zurich, he moves fluidly between research and product-facing ML, currently applying probabilistic and scalable techniques at Prescient Design after an applied research stint at NASA Frontier Development Lab. His background in mathematics (Cambridge) and maths+CS (Oxford) informs a strong analytical approach to model development and uncertainty quantification, while his earlier software engineering roles at Softwire and Worldpay mean he understands production constraints. Notably, he blends formal research rigor with hands-on delivery experience, making him effective at translating cutting-edge ML into deployable systems.
