Gabriel Franco

I am a fifth-year Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at Boston University, advised by Prof. Mark Crovella. Before joining BU, I earned my BSc and MSc from the Federal University of Viçosa in Brazil, advised by Prof. Giovanni Comarela.

My primary research focuses on the mechanistic interpretability of large language models (LLMs). I develop methods to uncover the causal drivers of model behavior, with a particular interest in the low-rank signals that arise within the attention mechanism.
