About Me

I'm a researcher working on AI safety, with a focus on understanding agency, both in AI systems, and to understand how powerful AI will impact human agency. Currently pursuing an MPhil in Applied Mathematics at the University of Cape Town with Jonathan Shock, where I'm studying the application of mechanistic interpretability to deeply understand RL models. I also have strong interest in evaluative frameworks and creative ways that we can learn to measure and understand LLMs.

I am also passionate about teaching and growing the field of AI safety, and co-founded AI Safety Cape Town to contribute to that effort.

I have a conflict of interest as someone who is a strategic director on the project, but from the level of excitement about the project from people I've spoken to who are interested in applying and my knowledge of the team I believe that the project has a lot of value to offer.
