Rusheb Shah

TeamIndividual
Individual

Rusheb Shah is a Research Engineer at Apollo Research, an AI safety organization focused on evaluating and auditing high-risk failure modes in frontier AI systems. He holds a Master's degree in Materials Science from the University of Oxford and completed the Alignment Research Engineer Accelerator (ARENA) program to transition into technical AI safety work. Before joining Apollo Research in December 2023, he briefly worked at OpenAI and previously held software engineering roles at R3, Brainlabs, and Amazon Web Services. His research at Apollo Research focuses on LLM evaluations, including co-authoring work on evaluations-based safety cases for AI scheming and research on scalable black-box jailbreaks via persona modulation. He also contributed to the mechanistic interpretability library TransformerLens by adding BERT support and won first prize at the ARENA Interpretability Hackathon for work on circuit discovery algorithms.

Jeremy Gillen

TeamIndividual
Individual

Jeremy Gillen is an independent AI alignment researcher based in Berkeley, California, working primarily on agent foundations and the ontology identification problem. He holds an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Neuroscience with a thesis on statistical learning theory. He participated in the SERI MATS (ML Alignment Theory Scholars Program) cohort 2 under mentor John Wentworth, where he co-authored "Finding Goals in the World Model" — a proposal for aligning model-based RL systems by identifying human values in a world model and using inverse reinforcement learning to guide the policy. Following MATS, he received a Long-Term Future Fund grant to continue independent research on alignment problems in model-based RL. He subsequently joined Vivek Chan's team at MIRI (Machine Intelligence Research Institute) before returning to independent research. His current work focuses on the ontology identification problem and related natural abstractions research, with recent co-authored work on condensation and natural latents. He is an active contributor to LessWrong and the AI Alignment Forum, and has participated in public debates on AI corrigibility.

Eric Easley is an AI safety researcher and machine learning researcher affiliated with the ML Alignment & Theory Scholars (MATS) program, based in San Francisco, CA. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Physics and Economics from The Ohio State University. Prior to focusing on AI alignment research, he gained software engineering experience at companies including PullRequest and Coursera. He received a grant from the Long-Term Future Fund (LTFF) for a 6-month research stipend focused on removing conditional bad behaviors from large language models via a learned latent space intervention, exploring how latent representations in LLMs can be used to durably eliminate undesirable model behaviors rather than merely suppress them. His GitHub profile (username: pseudonom) shows a background in functional programming, particularly Haskell.
