Welcome! I'm a joint Economics & Statistics PhD candidate at MIT, and I received my A.B. in Mathematics from Harvard College. My work studies multi-agent learning outcomes, axiomatic foundations of statistical optimality, and misspecification-aware procedures. 

I'm especially interested in using tools from microeconomic theory and econometrics to help make AI systems safe and aligned. In Spring 2027, I'll be on leave from MIT as an Anthropic Fellow.

My email is rickyli@mit.edu. You can find my Google Scholar page here and my CV here.
