Education

Girolami studied at the University of Glasgow and spent ten years working for IBM as an engineer from 1985 to 1994.[1] After this he undertook, on a part-time basis, a PhD in statistical signal processing whilst working at the University of Paisley.[2][13]

Career and research

After his PhD, Girolami held senior positions at the University of Glasgow, and University College London.[14]

Before joining the University of Cambridge, Girolami worked at Imperial College London.[4]
