Berit Singer is an applied research engineer with a background in mathematics, focused on translating complex theoretical and mathematical frameworks into human-usable interfaces. Her expertise includes prompt design and the diagnosis of reasoning and multimodal failure modes in AI systems. She is independently developing pre-release, domain-specific analytical frameworks that support expert interpretation, and designs and consults on AI-based solutions. Her work is driven by strong research instincts, rapid self-directed learning, and the application of methods across new domains. She is particularly interested in gaining hands-on experience with model refinement and training.
