About me

I'm Vanchhit Sahal — researcher, writer, and enthusiast of things that move fast (aircraft, trains, ideas). I grew up in India, have lived across Asia, Europe, and the US, and currently call Berlin home.

My professional work sits at the intersection of AI safety and policy — specifically, how governance structures can keep pace with rapidly advancing AI capabilities. I think compute governance is one of the most underrated levers we have, and I've written and researched on that topic.

Outside of work: I spend weekends at airports with a camera, plan rail journeys across Europe, follow energy transitions obsessively, and read more than is probably healthy.

This website is where I write things down, share projects, and keep a record of the places I've been.
