Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRohin Shah is a Research Scientist at DeepMind with a PhD from UC Berkeley’s Center for Human-Compatible AI and 13 years of experience spanning AI research, teaching, and software engineering. His work focuses on AI alignment—designing methods so systems pursue the objectives users actually intend rather than merely the ones specified—and he develops conceptual theory and concrete examples of objective generalization failures. Rohin founded and edits the Alignment Newsletter, a weekly digest that curates cutting-edge alignment work for a growing community of practitioners and researchers. He combines deep theoretical interests (programming languages, complexity, algorithms, quantum computing) with practical systems experience from internships at Google and multiple teaching and tooling projects at Berkeley. Colleagues know him for translating abstract safety problems into testable models and for an unusually broad curiosity that drives both rigorous research and accessible public communication.
