Kaelan Yim

Hey there!
I am a Kairos SPAR research fellow where I am building bridges for researchers to connect across interdisciplinary fields. My interests lie in AI safety, autonomous robotics, beans, and sustainability. I currently train reinforcement learning models on high-performance computing networks at Sandia National Labs, and have previously been at OpenAI, Oracle, and Accenture.
I am studying computer science (EECS) with a minor in gender & women's studies.
I enjoy gardening my collection of pineapples. Some of my hobbies include spelunking, crochet, leatherworking, glassblowing, entomology, axe throwing, shojin ryori, piano, autocross racing, quantum computing, arthouse films, long-exposure photography, and penny press machines.
I was TIME Person of the Year 2006.

Feel free to reach out. I would love to talk!
