Nearchos Potamitis

PhD student, Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University

I work on how large language models reason, supervised by Akhil Arora and Lars Klein. My aim is to make that reasoning, as Daft Punk would put it, harder, better, faster, stronger. Before Aarhus I studied electrical engineering and then data science at EPFL, where my master's thesis at DLAB became Fleet of Agents.
