About

I am an AI Safety Researcher working for the Alignment Research Center. I live and work remotely in London, but visit Berkeley occasionally.

Prior to working for ARC, I did a PhD from 2019-2024 at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Prof Sir Andrew Wiles. My main mathematical interest is number theory - specifically Iwasawa theory, the Langlands program and p-adic L-functions. My thesis was on equidistribution problems over totally real fields.

I did my undergraduate and masters degrees in Mathematics at Cambridge University, where I was a member of Gonville & Caius College.

By far the most important thing I’ve written is my My PhD Thesis, submitted in May 2024.

Some talks I’ve given:

An introductory talk to a seminar on the Langlands Program

A talk on Galois representations coming from automorphic representations

A talk on the Fargues-Fontaine Curve
