You can also visit my profile on our lab’s website.

Currently, I am pursuing a PhD on AI Safety and Alignment. My areas of interest include Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Algorithms, and the intersection of AI and Philosophy.

In a broader context, I am passionate about microcontrollers, embedded systems, robotics and technology.

Beyond that, I am also interested about literature, climate change, puzzles and board games.
