What I work on

From more experiments
to better research.

01 / Parallel discovery

Many agents,
shared knowledge

I’m interested in how independent searches can share tools, infrastructure and useful discoveries — without simply repeating the same work.

02 / Self-improvement

Improve the method,
as well as the candidate

I study how agents diagnose failed experiments, revise search procedures and transfer useful discoveries to the next research task.

As a co-author, I’m interested in the paper’s question of how a research procedure can itself become something an agent learns to improve. For me, that connects the search for useful candidates with the harder question of whether the method is becoming more reliable.

A research principle

I want improvements that survive independent tests.

I treat a promising result as a hypothesis to test again. I want to assess changes on evidence that was not used to develop them, and make the experiments clear enough for someone else to examine. That is how I want to distinguish a better research method from a fortunate outcome.

Work on these questions with me.

If you’re interested in self-improving agents, large-scale experimentation or research infrastructure, I’d like to hear from you.
