My (Chiffon) Nguyen

My (Chiffon) Nguyen she/her

Nguyễn Trà My / 阮沐茶 / 윈자미

AI Researcher & Life-long Learner

Pronunciation

My = /me/, Chiffon = /shi-FON/. I'm Chiffon in English-speaking context.

I’m doing CoT monitoring research at Algoverse and multilingual agentic eval at SEACrowd.

I research how to ensure that current and future AI systems reflect and support pluralism across languages, cultures, and social contexts, through robust AI evals and realistic environment (data, agent harness, system, etc):

  • Socio-technical AI Alignment: pluralistic alignment, evaluation (capabilities, propensities, safeguards), (mis)generalization, interpretability
  • Multilingual & multicultural AI: evaluate and improve cross-lingual and -cultural transfer and reasoning
  • AI & Society: education, information & media, human-AI collaboration

I broadly care about AI Safety, AI ethics and impacts of AI on humans, society, and more-than-human world.

Previously, I graduated in May 2025 from Minerva University studying Machine Learning & Statistics, with peers from 50+ countries and living in 6 cities as part of its global immersion program: Seoul (South Korea), Chinese Taipei, Hyderabad (India), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Berlin (Germany).

I am applying to research-oriented Master’s in Computer Science, AI, NLP, or related fields for Fall 2026/Spring 2027 and seeking research opportunities (internships, research assistantships, collaborations). See my CV and projects for more details.

  • I’m learning Mandarin Chinese (band 4/B1) and French (A2).
