I work on the safety team at xAI. I'm on leave from a PhD at MIT CSAIL, where I'm advised by Dylan Hadfield-Menell. Before starting at xAI, I participated in the Anthropic Safety Fellows program.

I'm interested in pragmatic AI safety work with the hope of reducing catastrophic risks from powerful AI systems.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing piano, backpacking, salsa dancing, and philosophy.
