Imperfect Verification in Test-Time Scaling

Studying how imperfect verifiers interact with inference-time scaling, and when seemingly unfavorable scaling behavior can be misleading. My work develops theoretical tools for understanding the geometry of verifier–utility mismatch and the statistical cost of reliably auditing scaling decisions.

Recursive Verification Lag

Studying when verification fails to keep pace with recursively improving policies. I combine theoretical analysis with controlled experiments to understand how optimizer-induced policy shifts interact with imperfect or stale verifiers, and how verification should adapt as the policy evolves.
