BrianTan

I'm the co-founder and operations director of WhiteBox Research.  WhiteBox aims to develop more AI interpretability and safety researchers in Southeast Asia. I'm also a co-founder and board member of EA Philippines.

I previously was a Group Support Contractor for the Centre for Effective Altruism (CEA) for two years, where I helped support EA groups around the world. 

You can reach out to me at brian@whiteboxresearch.org or find me on LinkedIn.
