-
Develop AI-driven evaluation and quality-assurance systems for grading, validation, and feedback
-
Establish automated feedback loops that improve training-data and model quality
-
Design verification systems that distinguish strong model behaviour from superficially plausible outputs
-
Apply rigorous quality standards throughout data-generation and evaluation pipelines
Model Optimisation & Benchmarking
-
Fine-tune and optimise open-source reinforcement-learning and machine-learning models
-
Apply internally generated datasets and custom training strategies to improve model performance
-
Develop benchmarking frameworks measuring capability, robustness, and data quality
-
Analyse model behaviour across internal and external evaluation environments
-
Contribute to the development, release, and interpretation of research evaluations and benchmark results
