Alfredo Parra 🔸

I'm currently working as an independent researcher, collaborating primarily with the Qualia Research Institute. I previously worked as Chief of Staff at the Institute for Law & AI (formerly "Legal Priorities Project") and as COO at the Center on Long-Term Risk (formerly "Effective Altruism Foundation"). I also co-founded EA Munich in 2015. I have a master's and a PhD in Computational Science from TU Munich and a bachelor's in Engineering Physics from Tec de Monterrey.
