I'm a postdoc at Mila supervised by Yoshua Bengio. I'm currently the Scientific Lead of the first International AI Safety Report, a project backed by 33 nations and intergovernmental organizations.
My research in machine learning covers risk management, LLM honesty, health applications, and data selection for large-scale deep learning. Across these areas, my publications as lead author have been covered by TV and newspapers like The Guardian, Time, etc, while others have been discussed by ministers or incorporated into national legislation.
Before joining Mila, I did my PhD at the University of Oxford under Yarin Gal funded by Google DeepMind, and I worked on learning human preferences and game-theoretical machine learning with David Duvenaud and Roger Grosse at Toronto’s Vector Institute and UC Berkeley, and with the Centre for the Governance of AI at Oxford. I studied machine learning (UCL), maths (Amsterdam) and Future Planet Studies (Amsterdam).
