Logan Riggs Smith is an independent AI safety and mechanistic interpretability researcher who goes by the handle "elriggs" on LessWrong and the Alignment Forum. He earned a BS and MS in electrical and computer engineering from Mississippi State University (2014-2021), where he focused on machine learning and wireless signal processing. He is best known as a co-author of "Sparse Autoencoders Find Highly Interpretable Features in Language Models" (ICLR 2024), alongside Hoagy Cunningham, Aidan Ewart, Robert Huben, and Lee Sharkey, an influential paper that helped establish sparse autoencoders as a core technique for mechanistic interpretability. He also contributed to shard theory research with Quintin Pope, Alex Turner, and Charles Foster. The Long-Term Future Fund supported Logan for over two years with six-month stipends of $40,000 each, funding his work on sparse autoencoders and language model tools for alignment research.

Kush Bhatia is a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind in San Francisco, having previously completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University under Christopher Ré. He earned his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley in 2022, where he was co-advised by Peter Bartlett and Anca Dragan, and his dissertation was titled "Learning when Objectives are Hard to Specify." Before Berkeley, he completed his undergraduate degree in Computer Science at IIT Delhi and spent two years as a research fellow at Microsoft Research India working with Prateek Jain and Manik Varma. His research spans statistical machine learning, high-dimensional statistics, optimization, and AI alignment, with a particular focus on problems at the intersection of human feedback and learning system objectives, including reward misspecification, reward hacking, and developing value-aligned systems. Notable works include "The Effects of Reward Misspecification: Mapping and Mitigating Misaligned Models" (ICLR 2022), "On the Sensitivity of Reward Inference to Misspecified Human Models" (ICLR 2023), and contributions to large language model prompting and training methodology. His postdoctoral work on safety in AI and value-aligned systems was supported by the Long-Term Future Fund.

Lukas Fluri is a PhD student in Computer Science at ETH Zurich, supervised by Prof. Florian Tramèr in the SPY Lab, where he researches when and how AI systems fail and how to prevent this. He holds a BSc in Computer Science and an MSc in Data Science, both from ETH Zurich, and was awarded an ETH Medal for his Master's thesis "Evaluating Superhuman Models with Consistency Checks," which proposed a framework for surfacing mistakes in superhuman AI models using logical consistency checks. His research spans AI safety, interpretability, model evaluation, red-teaming, reinforcement learning, and the science of deep learning, covering both theoretical and empirical approaches. Prior to his PhD, he completed research internships at the University of Cambridge and UC Berkeley, during which he received Long-Term Future Fund support for an unpaid internship focused on using theory and interpretability to increase the safety of AI systems. He is also involved with Zurich AI Safety (ZAIS), a community organization focused on AI safety capacity building in Switzerland.

Dmitrii (Dima) Krasheninnikov is an AI safety researcher who completed his PhD in machine learning at the University of Cambridge in December 2025, supervised by David Krueger and Rich Turner, and subsequently joined Anthropic. He holds an MSc in AI from the University of Amsterdam (cum laude) and previously held research positions at UC Berkeley's Center for Human-Compatible AI and Sony AI Zurich. His research spans interpretability, the science of deep learning, control, and security, with a focus on ensuring advanced AI systems remain aligned with human values. He is known for coining the term "out-of-context learning" and for demonstrating that language models linearly encode the training-order of facts in their activations. He also co-authored "Defining and Characterizing Reward Hacking" (NeurIPS 2022) and has published work at NeurIPS 2024/2025, ICML 2024, and ICLR 2026. He has received funding from the Long-Term Future Fund for his PhD research in AI alignment.

Thomas M. Kehrenberg is a machine learning researcher currently based at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAMATH) in Bilbao, Spain, where he works as a researcher in machine learning. He completed his PhD at the University of Sussex in 2021 with a thesis titled "Learning with biased data: invariant representations and target labels," and subsequently held a visiting research fellowship there. His primary academic research focuses on fairness and bias mitigation in machine learning, including adversarial support-matching and null-sampling techniques for interpretable and fair representations, with publications at venues such as ECCV and TMLR. In 2022, he received a grant from the Long-Term Future Fund (LTFF) for a six-month self-study period to build background knowledge for AI alignment research, during which he studied topics including VNM rationality, type theory, and topology. He subsequently wrote a post on LessWrong sharing advice for others undertaking similar alignment self-study, and has also published on the Alignment Forum exploring finite factored sets.
