Princeton University — Graduate Student Support

[Global Catastrophic Risks Capacity Building] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $500,000 over four years to Princeton University to support academic course development, teaching, and research conducted by two of Professor Elad Hazan’s graduate students, Jennifer Sun and Xinyi Chen. These activities will help Jennifer and Xinyi to explore transitioning the focus of their graduate work from optimization algorithms to AI alignment. This falls within our focus area of growing and empowering the community of people focused on global catastrophic risk reduction.
