Building and investing in solutions for AI alignment, safety, and existential risk reduction.
I work at the intersection of frontier AI and high-security systems. My focus is turning abstract safety and security requirements into deployable technical artifacts that can withstand real adversaries, from nation-state attacks to loss-of-control scenarios.
Focus Areas
- Frontier AI Security (SL5): Securing model weights, inference systems, and lab infrastructure against nation-state threats.
- AI Alignment and Interpretability: Mechanistic interpretability, scalable oversight, and monitoring-based interventions.
- Security Engineering: Air-gapped deployments, attack surface minimization, and high-assurance runtime design.
