Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Wahle is a Research Fellow and computer science PhD from the University of Göttingen with eight years of experience spanning academic research and industry software engineering. His work sits at the intersection of computational linguistics and AI safety, focusing on reasoning via reinforcement learning, agentic systems, and interpretability, and has been recognized with awards at ACL and SemEval. He has blended hands-on engineering—formerly building software for autonomous driving at Aptiv—with rigorous research, including a visiting stint at the National Research Council Canada. Based in Göttingen, he combines empirical NLP work presented at top conferences with practical lab engineering experience, making him adept at translating theoretical advances into reproducible resources and tools. An underappreciated strength is his track record of producing award-winning shared tasks and resources that shape community benchmarks as well as model development.
