About Me šŸ‘€

I am a PhD student at Harvard under the mentorship of Dr. Flavio du Pin Calmon and Dr. Hima Lakkaraju and am supported by the NSF Graduate Student Research Fellowship.

I am broadly interested in fair, interpretable, and trustworthy machine learning, and my current projects apply information theoretic tools to problems in fairness and representation learning. Although I love digging into theory, I am an engineer by training and hope to use my research to design actionable solutions for society.

Outside of the lab, you can find me playing jazz guitar šŸŽø, volleyball šŸ (Iā€™m a middle blocker!), or playing board games with my friends.
