About me

In my research, I have a broad range of interests, spanning the science of evaluations, AI control protocols, and scheming models.

My previous research work, much of which was done during/alongside my Master’s in CS and Philosophy, touches on game theory, multi-agent risks, corrigibility, and active learning.

I’m also a committee member of OAISI, the [Oxford AI Safety Initiative]; my priority is to build a welcoming, kind, and collaborative AI safety community here in Oxford.

[Please reach out] if you want to talk about what AI safety is / what you might want to work on / how OAISI might be able to help you.

Aside from academic work, I’m pretty musical: I play bass in a couple bands, noodle on guitar and keys (from when I used to write my own songs), and secretly would love to make a career out of playing music. Alternate career paths for me would also include teaching and doing outreach!

Some of my loves include [video/board] games and puzzles of all kinds, Japanese food (part of my heritage), continental philosophy, Arsenal FC, and most of all my lovely fiancée :)

Shoot me an email if you want to talk - I’m (usually!) quick to respond and I enjoy talking to new people! Get in touch via [[email protected]]
