I'm a first year graduate CS student at Princeton University advised by Aleksandra Korolova, working in the Center for Information Technology Policy.

My research centers around the fairness, transparency, and privacy of algorithmic systems, particularly in the context of generative AI and online platforms. I use methods such as algorithmic audits and empirical evaluations to study the impacts of emerging technologies to inform public policy and regulation. My work has been published in venues such as ACM FAccT and AIES.

I recently started a blog, Eclectic Notes on AI with Aleksandra Korolova. Check it out!

Misc

Outside of graduate school, I enjoy spending time outside and playing sports. I was a member of the inaugural Varsity Women's Rugby team at Princeton and was selected to the National Intercollegiate Rugby All-Academic team in 2023.

I'm always happy to discuss research ideas or talk to students thinking about applying to graduate school.
