Viktor Moskvoretskii

I am a Fellowship PhD Student in Computer Scince at EPFL DLab. I am now working on LLMs safety under the supervision of Prof. Robert West. We are largely targeting pre-training phase for safety.

My research interests are Personas inside of the LLM and their connections to safety and general LLM behavior.

I have previously worked as a Research Lead at Skoltech NLP Lab focusing on QA and uncertainty estimation.

I have pursued my M.S. in Machine Learning at HSE University under the supervision of Prof. Chris Biemann and Irina Nikishina.
