I'm a second-year Master's student in Computer Science at Princeton University advised by Aleksandra Korolova, working in the Center for Information Technology Policy.

My research centers around the social impacts of AI, focusing on two main areas:

Designing rigorous evaluations of data-driven systems.
Improving the transparency and accountability of human-AI systems.

I primarily draw upon methods from machine learning, measurement science, statistics, and social science. More recently, I've become excited about the use of theoretical approaches and mechanism design to tackle these questions. Broadly, I hope my work can inform both technical and policy decisions. 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.
