Patrick Kon
I am a 4th year Computer Science Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), working with Prof. Ang Chen. My current research agenda focuses on advancing AGI, with a particular interest in how AI systems can drive scientific discovery at scale (check out our Curie project). At the same time, I have broad interests across security, systems, AI, and networking, with work spanning internet censorship circumvention (check out our SpotProxy project and presentation videos), LLM-for-code, and cloud infrastructure management.I enjoy working alongside and mentoring undergrad/grad (non Ph.D.) students as well. Most of my ongoing and past projects have involved significant contribution from undergrad/grad students within and outside the US. Do reach out if you’d like to work with me; I will have a project that you can participate in.
