Allô! I'm Anthony.

MS CS @ Georgia Tech, AI Safety Research

I’m a MS CS researcher at the Entertainment Intelligence and Human-Centered AI Labs at Georgia Tech advised by Dr. Mark Riedl (Director, GT Center for ML) and PhD Candidate Glenn Matlin working on persona vectors, humanistic modeling, and wargaming with LLMs.

I’m also a contract Research Engineer for Redwood Research and a member of the AI Safety Initiative at Georgia Tech.

Currently, I’m enroute to become a Member of Engineering at Applied Intuition. I’ve also worked in the past at Datadog as a Infrastructure Software Engineering Intern.

Previously, I Head/Lead TA’d Algorithms and before that Discrete Maths under Dr. Gerandy Brito, Dr. Will Perkins, Abrahim Ladha, Frederic Faulkner, and Ronnie Howard, led pointcloud synthetic data research under Dr. Ling Liu (the DiSL Lab), and managed HPC nodes with Team Phoenix guided by Dr. Rich Vuduc and others at the Center for High-Performance Computing (CHIPC).

I find the most joy trying to understand the fractions of the world I can in my limited time, and especially in investigating the discoveries that we’ve yet to uncover. The settings I love most are those in which I’m aware that I’m surrounded by knowledge I don’t yet know — knowledge that I have yet to learn.

In my free time, I love climbing trees, tending to my plants, making bouquets, and finding chaotic adventures to best fulfil the experience of life. Very low barrier to reach out — always happy to meet new folks, offer perspective, and chat!
