Hi!
I'm Luca. I'm doing a PhD in computational neuroscience at Charles University.
I study the visual cortex, its computational principles, and design stimulation strategies for cortical prostheses to evoke visual percepts in blind individuals.
More recently, I started exploring mechanistic interpretability of LLMs and, more broadly, topics in AI safety and alignment.
