Hey, I'm Anna. I'm currently a MATS scholar with Neel Nanda, and also doing a PhD at Imperial College London, supervised by David Boyle. I'm interested in interpretability and what this can teach us about how language models work and how we can make them safer.
Before that, I studied Design Engineering, had a job designing and building experimental tilt-wing aircraft, and started a clean-tech company aimed at reducing household energy consumption. Outside research, I climb rocks and mountains.
