Avi Parrack

Hi, I'm Avi. I'm a physics PhD student at Stanford, trying to help civilization make it through transformative AI and out into the stars. My work is motivated by a deep concern for global suffering and an equally deep optimism about the extraordinary futures we can build. Atm I'm interested in AI, space expansion, governance futurism, and digital minds.

Most recently, I was a Research Fellow at Forethought, working on space expansion and the industrial explosion. Before that, I worked on plasma wakefield acceleration and microbunching for x-ray free electron lasers at SLAC. Earlier still, I tracked atmospheric phenomena on Jupiter at NASA.
