Tianyi (Alex) Qiu

Hi! I am Tianyi :)

I conduct machine learning research on AI safety and alignment, with a special focus on moral progress in AI systems.

I am a research intern at the Center for Human-Compatible AI, UC Berkeley. I am also a rising senior at Peking University, as a member of the Turing Class in Computer Science and the PKU Alignment Team.

 

Research

My answer to the Hamming question (“What are the most important problems [that you should probably work on]?”)

I strive to become a “full-stack researcher”, hoping to combine experimental, mathematical, and conceptual analysis to approach these problems. I have only just started, and there is definitely a long, long way to go.
