Hello! I'm a first-year CS PhD student at Harvard University, where I am extremely fortunate to be advised by Ariel Procaccia and Finale Doshi-Velez. I also collaborate closely with Bailey Flanigan at MIT. Previously, I studied math at Duke University, where I was privileged to work with Jian Pei. I interned at Microsoft Research New England in the EconCS group, where I had the opportunity to be mentored by Brendan Lucier and Nicole Immorlica!
Funding: I am a recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and was supported by an Angier B. Duke Scholarship and Goldwater Scholarship during my undergrad.
A foregone career path...
I am interested in using tools from economics and computer science to study the societal role/impact of AI. I'm curious about the technical complexities of AI deployment (alignment, supply chains, regulation) and its effects on humans in political science, psychology, and law.
During my undergrad, I worked on problems related to data marketplaces and valuation.
