Javier Ferrando

I am a Research Engineer at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and a final year PhD student at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). Recently, I was a MATS scholar, mentored by Neel Nanda. During my PhD I have been fortunate enough to do research internships at AI at Meta (FAIR), in the Machine Translation team at Apple, and in the Books Science team at Amazon.

My research focuses on interpretability and analysis of models. Currently, I am doing mechanistic interpretability research in Large Language Models, with special interest in improving their safety. Apart from research, I have also been a teacher assistant at several courses in the Computer Science and Telecommunications departments at UPC.
