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 AI.
- I'm a MATS 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, advised by Dr. Lewis Hammond.
- I've got a series of pieces in the works on superintelligence deterrence (working with Morgan C. Plummer). I also wrote about managing US-ROK relations amidst expanding export controls.
- I spent a year and change working on interpretability with Prof. Yiqiao Zhong and Prof. Junjie Hu.
- In summer 2024, I completed the Alignment Research Engineer Accelerator (ARENA) curriculum. I highly recommend others check it out, I've found no better way to quickly upskill in ML Safety.
- I advise Second Look Research, an organization focused on replicating AI safety research.
- I've given technical feedback and advice to many policy projects. I've also been told that I'm an excellent rubber duck. If either of these services would be helpful, feel free to reach out!
