Section I
Introduction
Overview
I’m Bhav Jain — a student at American Heritage Schools (Palm Beach Campus), Class of 2027. My work sits at the intersection of quantitative research, intelligent systems, and competitive argumentation: model safety & red-teaming, peer-reviewed NLP research, and national-level Congressional Debate.
I’m most interested in economics / quantitative finance / computer science: using rigorous math and careful evaluation to build systems that work under adversarial pressure — whether that’s in AI safety, trading research, or high-stakes debate.
Capabilities
- Python, JavaScript/TypeScript
- LLM evaluation, red-teaming, and safety testing
- Machine learning & NLP research workflows
- Backtesting and quantitative analysis (systematic equity strategies)
- Web engineering and product execution
Current focus
Model safety research, NLP research publication, and building quantitative tooling with clear evaluation signals.

Section IV
Projects
Featured
Model safety research & red-teaming (selected)
Contract AI safety researcher and red-teamer. Passed technical screening and secured paid work testing frontier models; identified universal jailbreak-style vulnerabilities and helped drive mitigations pre-deployment.
Town Hall Debate Prompting (publication)
Peer-reviewed NLP work on multi-persona interaction as a prompting method to improve logical reasoning in LLMs (vs. standard chain-of-thought baselines).
Utility patent pending — novel bioplastic formulation
Independently designed and engineered a novel bioplastic formulation and filed a full utility patent with the USPTO; currently responding to office action.
Algorithmic trading research stack (supplementary)
Built and backtested systematic equity strategies in Python (momentum-driven signals, asymmetric risk construction), plus an end-to-end research workflow for iteration and evaluation.
