i'm currently investigating when activation-based probes fail to generalize as monitors with Adrians Skapars at AISC.

recently, i've been playing around with Bartosz Cywinski's taboo models. i've also been exploring emergent misalignment papers (1, 2).

previously, i did research at Berkeley AI Research (BAIR), where we built autonomous ocean drones to help cargo ships plan safer routes.

before that, i did my undergrad at UC Berkeley (graduated in 2025).

other: i'm a big fan of #Nebrasketball (GBR) and Passenger's Stowaway blend.
