About

Hello! I'm a second year PhD student in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Fei Fang, and funded by an NSF Fellowship. My research focuses on improving decision-making in human environments, including topics such as human-AI collaboration, explainability, and sequential decision-making. My work studies these problems in real-world applications including food sustainability and healthcare.

I previously obtained my MPhil in Advanced Computer Science on a Churchill Scholarship, where I worked with Mateja Jamnik to understand explainability through concept learning models. I received my BS in Computer Science and Math from the University of Maryland, during which I worked with John Dickerson on fairness in rideshare, and with Jordan Boyd-Graber on entity linking algorithms.

If you want to chat about any of these topics, or just about research in general, feel free to reach out!
