TLDR

In an October 14 announcement, the incoming professor said they'll join UC Berkeley as an assistant professor in EECS and Statistics in January 2027. They said they're recruiting PhD students and postdocs this cycle for fall 2027. Research questions they raised include how pre-training helps post-training succeed, how to train and verify agents that are safe by design, and what makes data learnable.
