👋 I'm Markus Strasser. I work on psychoanalysising generative models (mechanistic interpretability) and infusing them with good taste (preference alignment). In my free time I make art and study the physics of biological information processing.

Previously I worked on drug discovery, biomedical literature search and knowledge discovery (with funding from Emergent Ventures), machine learning interpretability, no-code tools, browser extensions and bioinformatic automation at Oxford Nanopore. Before my engineering escapades I studied philosophy, some mathematics and later fine art with stints in Viennese and Prague Ateliers, the Barcelona Academy of Arts and Stanford.
