I’m a 4th year PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics, and my research is on mechanistic interpretability for improving the safety of transformer-based AI systems. I’m also interested in symmetries in loss landscapes of neural networks and their applications in understanding the internals of said networks. I’ve previously worked on projects in game theory, computational neuroscience, and computer vision. For more on my research, see here.

Outside of research, I like hiking, rock climbing, and fossil hunting. I am big fan of old sci-fi novels, particularly of the works of Arthur C. Clarke. I also have a number of open source projects, which are tooling for either ML research, personal knowledge management systems, or other random things.
