$ Whoami
Aka the quantum warlock, the masked camel, the fanOfThermodynamics, the pipe and clouds engineer, the whale orchestra conductor, or just Sckathach. I’m a french student at Télécom SudParis, and soon, a ML(4SEC) researcher!
I love mathematics, physics, graphs theory, AI, cybersecurity, graphs, geopolitics, thermodynamics (yes, I swear), programming, and especially graphs.
I’m currently fan of mechanistic interpretability, but there is a high risk I become fan of SLT instead.
My favorite paper (asof December 2024) : Toy Models of Superposition.
