Key Responsibilities
Write original and advanced IAO-style astronomy problems to challenge frontier AI models
Evaluate AI-generated solutions for correctness, clarity, and reasoning quality, and identify where models fail
Identify logical flaws, incomplete reasoning, or insufficiently rigorous derivations
Provide clear, concise, and correct solutions and reasoning, formatted in LaTeX
Maintain extremely high standards of precision, scientific rigor, and problem difficulty
