Yassine Taoudi-Benchekroun

Bio

Hi! I am Yassine - born and raised in the sunny and beautiful Morocco. Since early 2024, I started a PhD under the supervision of Prof. Benjamin Grewe, where I divide my attention between the topics of Reinforcement Learning, Large Language Models, and AI safety. I also work on the ARC Challenge, which I started investigating during my Master's thesis. Checkout my website for open projects and more details about what I do! In previous lives, I have been a Neural Systems Computation master student at ETH/UZH (2021-2023); a tech project manager for a Moroccan company (2021); a (proudly) failed startup-er (2020), a Machine Learning Engineer at a maritime data analysis company (2019-2020), and a Biomedical Engineer bachelor student at King's College London (2016-2019). When I'm not doing science, you can typically find me at one of the Zurich jam-session venues behind the Piano, at the Opera, or running around Zurich.
