Sheridan "Danny" Feucht (they/them)

Hello! I'm a second-year PhD student advised by David Bau and Byron Wallace at Northeastern University. Before that, I completed my B.S. in Computer Science at Brown University, where I worked with Ellie Pavlick in the LUNAR Lab.

I do mechanistic interpretability with the goal of understanding how language models represent concepts. How do LLMs represent the meaningful parts of language? What kinds of representations do they learn? To what extent do they grasp the structure of human language, and how can this inform basic assumptions of how language works? Check out my Google Scholar page to see an up-to-date list of my work so far.

I'm also a jazz drummer, and I tinker in music-making and creative writing. I host jams sometimes—if you're a musician in the Boston area, definitely reach out.
