I'm a second-year PhD student at New York University advised by He He. My ongoing research is in developing AI evaluations and safety training methods.
I completed my undergraduate degree at Yale University, conducting research in computational social science with Nicholas Christakis and bioclimatic modeling with William Lauenroth. In summer 2024, I did research in species distribution modeling with Nash Rochman at the National Institutes of Health. Outside of research, I enjoy composing, learning about human behavior, and cooking up the occasional side project.
In a world where AI is becoming increasingly pervasive, I plan to explore more of these questions during my research career:
I define "good" as being beneficial for physical, mental, and social health, and "bad" as detrimental to these ends. I'm especially drawn toward scientific applications as a key motivator.
In this direction, I'm interested in developing benchmarks that shed light on failure modes, as well as safety training methods that improve reliability and robustness.
