Summary I aim to maximise AI's benefits while reducing systemic risks. My research currently focuses on multi-agent safety and emergent misalignment. I am pursuing a PhD at the Centre for Credible AI, Warsaw University of Technology.

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.
  • 2022.01 - 2024.12

    Warsaw, PL

    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.
