they/them

I am a postdoc at Cornell Tech, working with Nikhil Garg and Emma Pierson. I received my BS and PhD in Electrical Engineering & Computer Science from UC Berkeley where I was advised by Anca Dragan and Moritz Hardt. My postdoc is supported by the Open Philanthropy Project.

The goal of my research is to create algorithms that help promote constructive conversation and bridge divides among people. To do so, I both create new machine learning algorithms, as well as test their downstream impacts in deployed settings with users, through randomized experiments more akin to those in the social sciences.

I am on the job market!
