dangnguyen@uchicago.edu

I am a first-year Computer Science PhD student in the Chicago Human+AI Lab at the University of Chicago advised by Chenhao Tan. My research aims at understanding large language models (their mechanisms, decision-making, biases) and how they can help us understand complex systems such as the physical world. I am also excited about the prospects of AI in healthcare and have done some work in this area.

Outside of research, you can find me practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or lifting weights. If you think we have similar interests and would like to chat, feel free to reach out!
