Research
My work focuses on the security risks that arise as increasingly capable AI agents proliferate and come into contact with one another. My technical work focuses on multi-agent security, and my policy work focuses on the national security implications of advanced AI.
- I was MATS 9.0 and 9.1 Fellow in the Multiagent Security stream with Dr. Christian Schroeder de Witt.
- I was a 2025 Summer Research Fellow at UChicago's Existential Risk Lab, where I worked on subtle attacks* on multi-agent systems in critical infrastructure with Dr. Lewis Hammond and superintelligence deterrence with Morgan C. Plummer.
- I spent a year-ish on interpretability with Prof. Yiqiao Zhong and Prof. Junjie Hu.
- I've been told that I'm an excellent rubber duck.
