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 affiliated with the Forecasting Research Institute, working with Philip Tetlock, Ezra Karger and Chris Karvetski on AI judgemental forecasting projects.

I aim to automate and scale scientific discovery by building interpretable AI reasoning systems capable of forecasting human behavior. By leveraging these insights, I aim to help decision-makers maximizing human flourishing while minimize existential risks. Previously, I worked at the intersection of AI safety, generative modeling, and behavioral sciences. You can find an overview of my past work here.

My life’s passion is understanding human nature, and I find great fulfillment in helping others with this understanding. If you’re new to AI, I recommend checking out UTMIST and Cohere For AI—initiatives I co-founded in 2017 that have evolved into vibrant communities offering zero-to-one opportunities for AI enthusiasts. For undergraduates at the University of Toronto seeking mentorship, this list features several programs where I’ve mentored in the past and would highly recommend.

I’m always excited to learn and grow, so I welcome your thoughts. Please consider leaving me anonymous feedback.
