Hi! I am a third year PhD student in Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University, fortunate to be advised by Zachary Lipton and Bryan Wilder. I'm broadly interested in algorithmic and statistical questions that arise when applying machine learning to society. In 2024, I spent a wonderful summer as an intern on the AI Safety team at Apple. Before that, I received my BS in Physics and BA in Computer Science from Brown University in 2021.
