Dan Hendrycks

I am a second-year PhD student in computer science at UC Berkeley where I am advised by Dawn Song and Jacob Steinhardt. I am interested in Machine Learning Safety. In 2018 I received my BS from UChicago. Last summer I interned at DeepMind. My contributions include the GELU activation function, the out-of-distribution detection baseline, and distribution shift benchmarks. hendrycks ατ berkeley.edu Research Updates (Twitter) | Google Scholar
