Hi all! I am a 1st-year PhD student at MIT .
Previously, I obtained my Master’s degree from Harvard University , where I worked with Prof. Hima Lakkaraju and my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from
TUM
, with a minor in Computational Linguistics at
LMU
, supervised by Prof.
Hinrich Schütze. Also, I had the opportunity to visit the
Stanford NLP Group
, collaborating with Prof.
Diyi Yang for one year.
My current research interests mainly lie in LLM safety
[1][2][3][4][5] (esp. the safety of LM agents
[4]), alignment
, and scalable oversight
, as well as other issues related to Human–AI Symbiosis
that we may face in the future.
