I'm an AI safety researcher and software engineer with a focus on technical alignment research. My background spans data platforms, ML systems, 3D visualization, and computational geometry.

Sparse Concept Anchoring

A novel research agenda to impose just enough structure on latent embeddings to make AI more interpretable and steerable.

Paper @ ICLR 2026 • notebooks • source • articles


Four plots of latent space, each one is a simple 2D axis-aligned projection of colored points on the hypersphere. The plots are arranged into two pairs, with an arrow pointing from the first pair to the second. The first pair of plots shows a warped arrangement of points, having been bent by constraints (forces) which are illustrated with symbols. The points appear to be a disc that has been bent up toward a black triangle at one of the poles. The second pair looks almost the same, but the data have been squashed such that the points that were near the black triangle are now at the center of the sphere.





Subline and S₂: an OOD detection framework

Novel techniques for detecting out-of-distribution inputs in language models: a new visualization and metric.

Annotated text visualization. The text reads 'A long time ago, in a galaxy somewhat far awawy'. Under the words is a line chart with two series: dashed blue for the words that are normal, and red for those that are unexpected. The line underneath the word 'somewhat' is very high, showing that the word is out of place.
