Hi there!

I’m a Computer Science PhD student at UC Berkeley working on how to align powerful future AI systems with human values, to reduce the existential risk posed by AI. I am advised by Stuart Russell and part of the Center for Human-Compatible AI. I am grateful to be supported by fellowships from the Future of Life Institute and Open Philanthropy.

See Google Scholar for papers I’ve written, and the Alignment Forum for my blog posts about earlier-stage work.
