Jasin Cekinmez

Hi, I’m Jasin, a senior at Princeton studying applied math and computer science. I build evaluations of multimodal AI systems, probing where they fail, why, and how their behavior diverges from humans.

Along the way, I’ve interned on the Query Optimization team at Teradata and as an ML researcher at QCRI. When I’m not stress-testing models, I’m probably constructing crosswords 🧩 for The New York Times.
