Researchers studying scientific foundation models
Worth noticing
It reads model representations layer by layer using supervised probes, controls, and error bars.

Field notes

The page uses three questions as its information architecture rather than presenting a conventional chronological CV. Its examples move between protein sequences, protein structures, materials models, and language models, including a claim that representations can converge while reasoning diverges. The biography also connects this research to practical experience: a decade of experimental and computational biology, two startups, and approximately £490K raised for the first.
