I am a Researcher at Microsoft with the AI Red Team, where I focus on probing and improving the safety and security of frontier AI systems. I received my PhD in Computer Science from New York University, advised by Dr. Christina Pöpper, with research centered on responsible AI and privacy technologies.
Previously, I served as Research Manager at MATS, mentoring 11 researchers in shaping impactful projects on AI alignment, control, evaluations and governance. Prior to that, I held research roles at the Center for Cyber Security and Spotify Tech Research, where I contributed to cross-disciplinary efforts at the intersection of technical innovation, security, and ethical oversight.
