Research Interests

I am currently a research scientist at OpenAI working on reasoning and safety research. Previouly I worked on developing principled data-efficient RLHF for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) and their application for Bard and Gemini. I am also interested in fundamental research on RL and multi-armed bandits. See my talk at Stanford RL forum about information-directed sampling for explorations [Recording] [Slides].
