Research

I focus my research on the intersection of AI, MultiAgent systems, and Game Theory. In particular, I am interested in what we can learn about cognition and Theory of Mind through studying how AI agents interact with one another and humans.

I believe this is a promising path to move towards AI alignment, safety, and effective agentic systems.

Research Areas

Game Theory

I enjoy modeling competition and cooperation in games, economics, and society

MultiAgent Systems

I am interested in how self-interested agents (AI or human) interact in various settings

Theory of Mind

It fascinates me to think about how humans (and AI systems) model the world

Artificial Intelligence

I believe that attempting to build and understand AI systems leads us to a greater understanding of our own cognition

Current Projects

Studying LLM Theory of Mind using Diplomacy as a testbed

My Thesis research involves studying the interactions between frontier LLMs with Chain-of-thought reasoningby having them play against one another in the game of Diplomacy. My hypothesis is that these agents will be highly capableof performing recursive Theory of Mind reasoning to both predict and deceive their opponents.
