Danielle Ensign

TeamIndividual
Individual

Danielle Ensign (also known online as Phylliida) is an AI safety researcher and software developer based in the United States. She received a bachelor's degree from the University of Utah (2012–2017), where she published early research on algorithmic fairness, including the influential paper "Runaway Feedback Loops in Predictive Policing" (FAT/ML 2017). She later participated in the OpenAI Scholars program (2021), studying how text generation models affect opinion ecosystems. As a MATS fellow (2024), mentored by Adrià Garriga-Alonso, she conducted circuit-based mechanistic interpretability research on the Mamba state-space model architecture, producing the paper "Investigating the Indirect Object Identification circuit in Mamba" (arXiv:2407.14008) and creating MambaLens, a widely-used TransformerLens port for Mamba. She subsequently became an Anthropic Fellow (2025), working with mentor Kyle Fish on studying LLM conversation termination behavior, resulting in the paper "The LLM Has Left The Chat: Evidence of Bail Preferences in Large Language Models" (arXiv:2509.04781).

Aidan Ewart is an AI safety researcher and mathematics undergraduate at the University of Bristol (2022-2026), based in the UK. He has participated in the MATS program as a Research Scholar, working primarily on adversarial robustness and latent adversarial training (LAT). He interned at Haize Labs (July-October 2024) in New York, where he built automated red-teaming infrastructure and contributed to red-teaming of OpenAI's o1 models and contract work with Anthropic. His published research includes co-authoring 'Sparse Autoencoders Find Highly Interpretable Features in Language Models' (ICLR 2024), 'Latent Adversarial Training Improves Robustness to Persistent Harmful Behaviors in LLMs' (NeurIPS 2024), and 'AuditBench: Evaluating Alignment Auditing Techniques on Models with Hidden Behaviors' (2026). He has received funding from the Long-Term Future Fund for independent research on LM interpretability and for a MATS 5.0 extension focused on improving methods in latent adversarial training.

Darryl Wright is an AI safety researcher and advisor who received a Long-Term Future Fund grant to conduct independent AI safety research, focusing on two projects: penalizing neural networks for learning polysemantic neurons, and crowdsourcing alignment research from volunteers. He holds a Master's in Physics and a PhD in Astrophysics from Queen's University Belfast, where his doctoral research applied machine learning to transient survey classification using data from the Pan-STARRS1 survey. He subsequently held research positions at the University of Minnesota's Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics, the University of Oxford, and Mayo Clinic Rochester, where he worked on machine learning applications in healthcare. He also contributed to the Zooniverse citizen science platform, investigating how AI and citizen scientists can cooperate on data-intensive research problems. He has served as a mentor for the Supervised Program for Alignment Research (SPAR) and is currently an AI policy and law advisor at Successif.
