I am a PhD student in computer science at Brown University and the CNTR advised by Suresh Venkatasubramanian. I'm interested in questions at the intersection of CS and policy, with an emphasis on incentives, alignment, and avoision. Currently, I am a spring 2026 Law and Society Fellow at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley. Previously, I received an S.M. in technology and policy from MIT advised by Dylan Hadfield-Menell and a joint B.A. in computer science and mathematics from Scripps College as a cross-campus major at Harvey Mudd College.

At Google, I contributed functionality to enable (ε, 0)-differential privacy with Client-Specified Partitions for Privacy on Beam for histograms. I was lucky to be mentored by Raine Serrano, Miraç Basaran, and Chris Jones. At Sony AI, I researched privacy regulation and case law on biometric technologies, co-authoring a publication at ACM FAccT. I was lucky to be mentored by Alice Xiang. At NIST, I contributed to the policy harmonization crosswalks connecting global policy developments with the AI Risk Management Framework. I was lucky to be mentored by Reva Schwartz and Mark Latonero. At MIT, I was co-chair of the AI Ethics and Policy Group and organized events as part of the Research to Policy Engagement Initiative. At Brown, I organized the first iteration of the CNTR Graduate Seminar and mentored Ashley Bao, Amanuel Tesfaye, and Ahmed Haj Ahmed as part of the Google ExploreCSR program. |
