About Me

I am a PhD student in the department of Computer ScienceI received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Virginia, advised by Madhav Marathe. My research is concerned with understanding and accounting for the value-laden choices made by data scientists and AI engineers when building AI/ML models. This work spans AI, HCI, and tech policy. I've also been heavily involved with several initiatives to support policymakers, including a White-House sponsored competition on Privacy Enhancing AI, focused on public health. Prior to UVA, I worked with Blase Ur and even more previously with Ariel Feldman at the University of Chicago, where I completed a Masters in Computer Science and Masters of Legal Studies. I received my undergraduate degree in Mathematics from Reed College in Portland, Oregon advised by Adam Groce.
