About
This is the personal website of Elon Litman
Steam engines powered the industrial revolution before thermodynamics. Airplanes flew before aerodynamics. Vaccines were administered before immunology was even a field. Every scientific revolution begins with empirical discoveries, and only later earns its laws. AI is no different.
I'm currently a researcher at Stanford University working at the Ermon Group. My work lies at the intersection of deep learning theory, optimal transport, and information theory, with a primary focus on understanding generalization. Sometimes I'll opine on molecular psychiatry or random matrices.
You may recognize me from my 3D Desmos art or my ancient Hebrew programming language.
