I’m Pranav! I am a final year undergraduate student at the ANU, studying computer science and machine learning under the Bachelor of Philosophy (PhB). I’m currently doing my honours project in machine learning optimisation under Dylan Campbell (ANU) and Joao Henriques (Oxford).
I’m interested in alignment research, and my most recent adventures this year have been:
- Doing alignment research at Oxford where I looked at steering vectors for open source models.
- SWE Baselining for METR
- Looking at information-theoretic evaluations for LLMs
Amongst other things, I’ve worked as a software engineer at IMC Trading and CSIRO. I’ve published a paper on Vision Transformers, which won Best Paper Runner Up at DICTA. I’m also generally interested in computer science and machine learning stuff, such as algorithmic programming, systems and architecture, and science of DL.
Check out my research and my blog if you’re interested! If you’d like to chat, you can book a meeting with me here.
