I'm a recent McGill graduate (B.Sc. in Statistics and Computer Science) currently pursuing an MSc at Mila and Université de Montréal. I focus on AI safety research, particularly AI Control—developing protocols to safely deploy AI systems we don't fully trust. I currently work at EquiStamp, building AI Control evals.

Recent projects include: Untrusted Editing protocols & exploring feedback exploitation in control protocols, bisampling protocols, and AI Control scaling laws.

I've worked on tools like AlignmentSearch and Stampy Chat to help others learn about alignment. During my undergrad, I did a research project on sim-to-real transfer for robotic locomotion under Prof. Hsiu-Chin Lin.

I organize ACX Montreal meetups and previously helped run EA McGill and founded AI Alignment McGill. In my free time, I enjoy chess, arm wrestlingI stopped arm wrestling when I broke my arm at Manifest. :P, and forecasting.
