About

I am an undergraduate physics student at Ateneo de Manila University primarily interested in theoretical and computational physics. My research focuses on extending the standard tanh method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations. In particle physics, I analyze B meson decay measurements from the Belle II experiment, where I am also eager to explore phenomenology and apply machine learning to particle analysis. Additionally, I am dedicated to AI safety, particularly mechanistic interpretability and evaluations for responsible AI development.

Particle research: phenomenology, experimental, B mesons, machine learning. Theory: partial differential equations, geometric algebra, quantum field theory. AI safety: mechanistic interpretability, evaluations.

As of 2025 W12, I am currently

• listening to Rex Orange County (2022), WHO CARES? -- it's just so good
• implementing 3CB, a catastrophic cyber capabilities benchmark, to Inspect, a framework for large language model evaluations
• investigating Boussinesq equations and B meson decays
• upskilling in technical AI safety via the Whitebox Fellowship.

Previously, I was enjoying listening to Benson Boone (2024), Fireworks & Rollerblades and volunteering to the Lichess broadcast team.
