The Role
Conduct ML research and applied work on LLM trust and safety (prompt injection, alignment, privacy, interpretability). Design and run experiments, read/write research papers, fine-tune and evaluate deep models, and implement research code using PyTorch/HuggingFace tools. Collaborate with engineers to productionize research; related student research topics may be considered.
