Hi! I'm a first year ELLIS PhD student at the MPI for Intelligent Systems advised by Prof. Bernhard Schölkopf, and supported by the Hector Fellow Academy.

I am interested in understanding the internal mechanisms of large language models (LLMs), particularly their "world models"—the structured representations they develop to interpret and make sense of data. My work falls within the field of Mechanistic Interpretability that tries to dissect these systems to uncover their underlying processes, behaviors, and limitations.
