About
Currently working on AI policy research at CBAI, the Cambridge Boston Alignment Initiative. Previously no-CoT evaluations and emergent misalignment at UChicago XLab's Second Look, with a follow-up on Astra. I mentor a SPAR stream building AI Safety Said Simply. Writing and thinking about emergency powers and escalation frameworks.
I studied Computer Science and Astrophysics at UC Berkeley. I've used ML to isolate dynamic thermal effects on focus drift at the Rubin Observatory, built internal LLM-based tooling at Apple, trained DNA generation models at the Innovative Genomics Institute, and spent three years thinking about pilot cognition and human contributions to safety at NASA Ames.
