                Description
                Conduct mechanistic interpretability research on reasoning circuits in compact multilingual language models, with findings feeding into safe agentic system design.
                • Analyze circuit transfer across model scales and 20–30 languages
                • Validate interpretability tools using controlled backdoored-model experiments
                • Publish research and openly release interpretability artifacts
                • Collaborate with Inria Paris through research visits and workshops
