Samir Yitzhak Gadre

I am a member of the technical staff on the pre-training team at Anthropic. Previously, I was a PhD student at Columbia, privileged to be advised by Shuran Song and fortunate to work with Ludwig Schmidt.

In addition to research, I enjoy running, climbing mountains, and singing with my pop/rock choir: Here to Sing.
