Victoria Graf

I'm a PhD student at the University of Washington where I am fortunate to be advised by Hanna Hajishirzi. I am also a Student Researcher at Ai2. Previously, I was an undergrad at Princeton University, where I am thankful to have been advised by Danqi Chen.

My interests are broadly in alignment and improving usability of language models. I am supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
