Alfredo Parra 🔸
I'm the Director and Co-Founder of ClusterFree, an advocacy and research initiative focused on cluster headaches. ClusterFree is a project of 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.
I also have a blog called Globally Bound where I write about consciousness and extreme suffering.
