How I Like to Think and Collaborate
March 9, 2026
How I approach research ideas, reading, and collaboration.

I know that I know nothing, and am not afraid to admit that! I am always learning about different topics.
I tend to like projects that start with a slightly vague concept and become crisp through reading, discussion, and iteration over ideas. I like to read papers and articles in the same way I like music and books: the older the better. Some old but gold advice that I think has helped me a lot:
- An Opinionated Guide to ML Research by John Schulman
- Research as a Stochastic Decision Process by Jacob Steinhardt
I am a social and collaborative researcher, so please reach out if you think we could work together. I really enjoy working with people who have somewhat different backgrounds to myself because they often teach me something new.
