I’m a CS PhD student in the Machine Learning Group at the University of Toronto, advised by Roger Grosse and Jimmy Ba. I am also part of the Forecasting Research Institute, working with Philip Tetlock, Ezra Karger and Chris Karvetski on AI judgemental forecasting projects.

I aim to automate and scale up our scientific discovery progress though building interpretable AI systems capable of forecasting human behavior, and use these insights to assist decision-makers in minimizing existential risks and maximizing human flourishing. My past research was on the intersection of AI Safety, generative modelling, and behavioural sciences. See here for an overview of my past research.

My life’s passion is understanding human behaviour. It brings me great intrinsic joy. I also find great fulfillment in helping others. If you’re new to AI and looking to get started, I recommend exploring UTMIST and Cohere For AI—initiatives I co-founded in 2017, which have since grown into vibrant communities offering zero-to-one opportunities for AI enthusiasts. For undergraduates at UToronto seeking mentorship, this list includes programs where I’ve mentored in the past and would highly recommend.

I’m always looking to learn and grow. Please consider giving me anonymous feedback.
