Avi Trost

Hi! I am a first year Computer Science PhD student at University of Wisconsin–Madison working with Fred Sala and Tengyang Xie. As an undergraduate at Brown University, I was fortunate to work with Stephen Bach.

My research interests include synthetic data, data-centric ML, and reasoning. My recent emphasis has been on tailoring data for LLMs, and understanding the role that data plays. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in collaborating!
