I am recruiting PhD students at NYU Courant to work on Quantum and classical Learning Theory with a focus on algorithm design. NYU is rapidly expanding across quantum information, with several recent hires, including @fermima.bsky.social. Please encourage your strongest students to apply.

My guess is evaluating multimodal models turns out to be tricky because the language model is much larger/stronger than the other modalities, leading to a skewed approach by these models. In the long run, I'm hopeful that long-form streaming video holds solutions for a lot of the problems we face.

Was a very fun (and quick) investigation into biases of multimodal benchmarks, this time on tasks designed for "Spatial Supersensing" introduced by Cambrian-S with some great folks!

One of the great things about being a scientist with an interview-style podcast is that I get to "play dumb" and ask questions that I'm supposed to know the answer to. Nobody has to know whether I actually do know the answer.

I'm honored that this work with David Gosset and Chenyi Zhang was selected as one of three long plenary talks at QIP 2026!
