Sheridan "Danny" Feucht (they/them)

Hello! I'm a third-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'm originally from Calgary, Canada.

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? See a list of my publications here.

I'm also a jazz drummer, and I do a bit of oil painting and creative writing. If you ever want to do music or art stuff together, feel free to reach out.
