I’m an MS student in Data Science at the Center for Data Science at New York University, working at the intersection of machine learning (ML) and computational social science (CSS). My interests center on leveraging existing ML methods and developing new algorithms to better understand social dynamics and answer social questions.

I’m a Visiting Research Assistant at the University of Cambridge (Centre for Human-Inspired AI), supervised by Umang Bhatt, where I’m researching how AI assistance affects skill development, incentives, and promotion dynamics for knowledge-workers.

At NYU’s Center for Conflict and Cooperation (supervised by Jay Van Bavel and Laura Globig), I study topics such as polarization, misinformation, and social media & morality.
