I am a researcher at the Alignment Research Center (ARC), where I'm working toward an algorithm for learning explanations of surprising behaviors in neural networks.

Before joining ARC, I was a PhD student in theoretical computer science at Columbia University, where I was advised by Tim Roughgarden. I wrote my thesis, Algorithmic Bayesian Epistemology, on reasoning about uncertainty under constraints: constraints on information, communication, and computation, as well as constraints imposed by the strategic behavior of experts.
