Original post

Starting a new lab is a fun challenge. We'll study fundamental problems in RL as motivated by practical real-world uses in healthcare ⚕️, life sciences🧪, agentic reasoning🤔, etc. I'll also remain part-time with @LilaSciences to help facilitate frontier capabilities toward SSI.

I have a lot to share about why this is the right time to invest in the next generations of technologists, especially in the age of explosive growth in AI capability. I'm working to coherently note down my thoughts and motivations, stay tuned for another blog post next week 🤞

It's overwhelming to be able to return home to Provo, Utah + BYU and pay forward all the efforts that helped me launch a career as a scientist. I'm excited to try and be that springboard for my students!

If you want to learn more about BYU, my lab, etc. please reach out!
