MICHIEL BAKKER
Hi! I'm an Assistant Professor at MIT with appointments in the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS), the business school (Sloan) and the Center for Constructive Communication (CCC) in the MIT Media Lab. I'm also a Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind.
My research focuses on large language models (LLMs), AI safety, the societal impacts of AI, and AI's role in both human-human and human-computer interaction. If you're a student and would like to work with me, I'd love to hear from you via [last name] [at] mit [dot] edu.
Previously, I was a Computer Science PhD student at MIT, working with Alex "Sandy" Pentland at the MIT Media Lab. I also hold a bachelor's and master's degree in physics from TU Delft, where I worked on quantum computing at QuTech and IBM Quantum.
