About

I'm a first year Computer Science Ph.D. student at UC Irvine advised by Sameer Singh. I work on machine learning. Some of my specific focuses are interpretability and fairness.

In Summer 2020, I will be working as an Applied Scientist Intern at Amazon AWS in Palo Alto hosted by Krishnaram Kenthapadi.

I did my undergrad at Haverford College and graduated in 2019. During this time, I was fortunate to be advised by Sorelle Friedler, where I researched fairness and interpretability in machine learning.
