Organizer / ML Researcher

Originally from London, England, I graduated with Honors in Cognitive Science and Math at Swarthmore College, PA. My research interests are focused on the areas of Machine Learning Theory, AI Safety, and AI Compression.

I am an Alumni of the Sutton Trust/ Fullbright US program and still regularly volunteer with the program. I Believe very strongly in the principles of Effective Altruism and have taken the Pledge to Give. Recently, I have been running EA Swarthmore with 2 of my amazing friends.
