Current Research Focus

My research spans several interconnected directions: AI Safety x Biosecurity; (Applied) Machine Learning, with an emphasis on time series and foundation models; Computational Biology; and Technical AI Safety. I aim to build a strong research profile that bridges computational science, machine learning, and AI safety, with a particular emphasis on interpretability and robustness. My work seeks to make unique contributions at the intersection of these fields, publishing in top-tier venues that leverage my experience across computational modeling, ML systems, and AI safety research.
