Hi, I’m Nicholas 👋

I am a postdoc researcher at the Bonn-Aachen International Center for Information Technology (b-it) / CAISA Lab, at the University of Bonn (Germany). I am the principal investigator behind projects like Tucano, ViTucano, TeenyTinyLlama, and Worldwide AI Ethics.

I also wrote a book! Normative Ethics, Artificial Intelligence, and Value Alignment: From Normative Theory to Engineering Practices, published by Springer Nature as part of the series “The International Library of Ethics, Law and Technology”.

My main areas of research are Deep Learning, Philosophy, LLMs, and Alignment. I like writing (text/code), studying, skateboarding, and playing D&D.
