Work
-
2025.11 - Present Warsaw, PL
Machine Learning Researcher
Centre for Credible AI
- Investigating whether multi-agent LLM systems deliver genuine capability gains or primarily act as additional test-time compute, using mathematical reasoning tasks as the main evaluation setting.
- Teaching a student research group and mentoring its mini-project on emergent misalignment, which builds on Model Organisms for Emergent Misalignment (Turner et al., 2025).
- Member of a red-teaming group on AI control and LLM-based agents; exploring inoculation prompting vs. steering-vector methods and rule-breaking tendencies in LLM agents.

Machine Learning Researcher
University of Warsaw
- RL for Scalable Oversight via LLM Debate. Extended Training Language Models to Win Debates with Self-Play Improves Judge Accuracy to study RL training in multi-agent debate as a scalable-oversight method.

Machine Learning Engineer
MIM Solutions
- Contrastive Learning for Linking Tweets to Events (ERC-funded). Led a research initiative supervised by Prof. Sankowski developing BERT-based dual encoders to link Twitter posts with news articles; owned experimental design, modelling, and analysis. Preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.07599.
- Automated Counter-Speech to Mitigate Hate Speech (EMNLP Findings 2024). Took over a stalled student project as lead after two rejections: introduced a novel engagement metric, added ethical analysis, and rewrote the manuscript, leading to acceptance. Preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.16905.
- Research Infrastructure. Trained, evaluated, and fine-tuned deep learning models on GPU clusters using Hydra for configuration, Optuna for hyperparameter optimization, and Neptune for experiment tracking.
