I’m Uzay (pronounced ooze-eye), a math & cs major at MIT, where I’ve studied pretty ideas like quantum mechanics, complexity theory, abstract algebra, inference and information, stat mech, and topology.

I want to scale understanding and autonomy in a world increasingly powered by AIs.

In the past, I’ve done research on the dynamics of in context learning, synthetic generation of challenging software tasks, scaling laws for language modeling, and interpreting LLM adversaries. I also built lot of open source software.

I grew up in Paris, and then lived in pika around MIT. I like art. I write poetry and essays on my blog and my substack. I’m an avid climber and I would like to live in the mountains many years from now.
