Rupert Tombs is a Senior Machine Learning Researcher based in Cambridge with nine years’ experience applying statistical and ML methods to high-stakes scientific and commercial problems. He holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Cambridge where he designed and executed novel searches for electroweak supersymmetry and developed self-supervised methods to probe symmetries in collider data. At Monumo he progressed from researcher to senior researcher, translating probabilistic inference and deep learning into production-ready solutions. His background blends rigorous theoretical training (MPhil prizewinner) with data-intensive finance internship experience, reflecting a pragmatic aptitude for optimization and factor modelling. Colleagues describe him as intellectually curious and philosophically minded about software design and data provenance, often framing engineering trade-offs through a Bayesian lens.
