Bonjour/Hi!

I'm a second-year Computer Science master's student at McGill University and Mila, supervised by the dynamic duo of Prof. Prakash Panangaden and Prof. Doina Precup. In October 2024 I'll be joining Prof. Ben Van Roy's lab at Stanford University as a visiting student researcher. From June - September 2024 I was a research intern at the Center for Human-Compatible AI (UC Berkeley), advised by Cam Allen and Prof. Stuart Russell.

My research interests include responsible AI, AI safety and the fundamentals of reasoning under uncertainty. My master's research is focused on how to fine-tune large language models from human feedback.

Before my master's I completed a bachelor's degree in the Honours Math program at McGill, with minors in Computer Science and Physics. I spent one lovely summer in Prof. Adrian Liu's Cosmic Dawn group as an undergraduate, using machine learning to recover signals from noisy telescope data.
