Hi! My name is Yik Siu, and I am a first-year CS master’s student at Brown University. My research interests lie in evaluating and interpreting large language models, with a focus on their potentially dangerous capabiltiies and alignment with human values.

I have been fortunate to work with Prof. Stephen Bach at Brown, Prof. Marzyeh Ghassemi at MIT CSAIL, and the Personal Robots Group at MIT Media Lab, where I began my research journey.

Previously, I graduated from Wellesley College in 2024 with a B.A. in Computer Science and Economics. I am grateful to the Brown CS Department and the UWC Davis Scholarship for supporting my studies.
