Daniel Elliott
Co-Founder, President
Hi! I'm Daniel, the president of AI Alignment this semester! I'm a junior in CompE, and run SIGPolicy when escaping engineering! I'm always happy to talk about AI safety, especially multi-agent systems, what good policies look like, and how you can get further involved. (Please especially reach out if you are interested in working on policy briefings or generalist projects!)

Himnish Hunma
Secretary
I am a current MCS student @ UIUC focusing on interpretability and control. My current research focuses on measuring the propensity for multi-agent emergent behavior, and mechanism design for AI control. Outside of AIS, I enjoy volleyball and hip-hop dance. I am happy to talk about the above, how to get more involved in the field of AI safety and thinking about research.
