Bio
I am a third-year Computer Science DPhil student, supervised by Sam Staton. My research interests lie (mostly) at the intersection of mathematics and theoretical computer science - such as the semantics of programming languages, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, reinforcement learning theory, and information geometry. I currently split my time between doing research on categorical semantics of probabilistic programming languages and working on AI safety.
I am funded by Open Phillantropy's Early-Career Funding for Improving the Long-Term Future.
Before doing my DPhil, I studied Mathematics (BSc, MSc) and Computer Science (BSc) at the University of Warsaw, worked at a hedge fund in London, tried studying Philosophy at the University of Warsaw (but dropped out pretty quickly), Medicine at the Medical University of Lodz (and dropped out even quicker), developed NLP models in 2016s before Transformers took over, experimented with mechanism design during the blockchain frenzy of 2017s, stationed at the polar circle while adding a few more bugs to Office365, and in general engaged in BFS over DFS while I could.
