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'm interested in interpretability with the goal of understanding the nature of language and thought. What kinds of representations are neural language models actually learning? What can these models tell us about language, and about the brain, and how can this inform our assumptions of the nature of thought? 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.
