Thao (Amelia) Pham
Mathematics, Computer Science @ Berea College
I'm conducting research projects in game theory and multi-agent safety, focusing on emergent misalignment in multi-agent interactions, oversight mechanisms (using formal verification) to prevent loss-of-human-control, evaluating the cooperative properties of AI agents, and how to build responsive governance protocols/evals to superintelligence AI risks.
I'm also a final-year undergraduate student at Berea College, United States, majoring in Mathematics and Computer Science. In the past, I was a Research Assistant at Vanderbilt University, supervised by Dr. Douglas Fisher, completed two Open Source Software Internships, and led an NGO for climate change.
Besides research, I contribute to expand the AI Safety community, e.g., founding the AI Safety Initiative at Berea College, and facilitating for Center for AI Safety. For more details, please refer to my CV.
