I am a PI at the MIT-IBM AI Research Lab, and the Chief Architect of Large Language Model Alignment at IBM Research, where I (1) oversee the tuning and alignment of IBM’s foundation models and (2) lead the synthetic data generation efforts. My lab is located on campus, at 314 Main St (new MIT Museum building) in Cambridge.

Before joining MIT-IBM, I obtained my PhD at the University of Edinburgh where I worked with Prof Charles Sutton and Prof Michael U. Gutmann on variational inference for generative models and deep learning.
