Hi I'm Bruce! I'm a senior at the University of Pennsylvania, currently working with Tomek Korbak through ML Alignment & Theory Scholars to reduce risks from misaligned agents.

I'm learning to think more in public! When papers or talks influence my thinking, I try to share them in Readings. I also document ideas that interest me in Writings.

Before moving to the US, I served in the Republic of Korea Marines, where I operated helicopters. Now, I'm on Penn's men's lightweight rowing team.
