#about
My passion lies in the unique union of engineering and public policy in technology. Currently, I'm an undergraduate researcher at the Center for Human-Compatible AI studying focused macro-actions (action abstractions) to design more optimal, reliable, and efficient black-box planning agents. This research interest naturally complements my pursuits in tech policy, primarily in the realm of safe and responsible AI. In terms of the applications of AI, I'm particularly interested in AI for education, believing in the power of personalized learning and education itself to propel personal and societal progress. All in all, my interdisciplinary interests bolster my ultimate mission of shaping tech for public good.
