Hi! I’m a Research Scientist at the AI Security Institute (AISI), a directorate of the UK Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology (DSIT). My research focuses on frontier alignment, security, interpretability, and reinforcement learning.

Previously, as an independent researcher, I worked on RL for efficient multi-turn exploration at the Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) at UC Berkeley. I was a scholar at the ML Alignment & Theory Scholars (MATS) program with Adrià Garriga-Alonso (working on frontier deception), with Nandi Schoots (on feature geometry and modularity), and I did Neel Nanda’s MATS training program on mechanistic interpretability.

Before deciding to focus full-time on AI safety, I worked at Microsoft Research on language models. Prior to that, I was an Associate Research Scientist at Wadhwani AI working on AI for Social Good and Healthcare.

Writing fiction and poetry along the way!
