I'm Liv! I'm currently interested in improving our understanding of neural networks and verifying their safety. In practice, this translates to doing research within mechanistic interpretability and dangerous capability evaluations.

I moved from Australia to the Bay Area in December, 2022 after I cofounded a startup exploring LLMs in biomedicine. In order to do that, I dropped out of an MD.

Before starting medical school, my undergrad focused on neuroscience, computer science, and anatomy & histology. During my studies, I did three years of part-time research in computational neuroscience and completed other smaller research projects in sythentic biology, oncology, haematology, and radiology.
