Hey there! I'm Avi

I’m a PhD student in physics at Stanford, driven by a deep concern for global suffering but also by a profound optimism for the extraordinary futures we can achieve. I want to use my career to contribute to global well-being and to advancing the scientific frontier.

Currently, I work on interpretability methods for artificial intelligence, on plasma wakefield acceleration and on microbunching for x-ray free electron lasers.

Before that, I interned at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, where I tracked and modeled atmospheric phenomena on Jupiter using the Juno mission satellite.

This site stores projects and publications, and lets me think out loud (blog) occasionally.
