About
I am broadly interested in machine learning and causal inference. In the past couple of years, I've worked on bringing machine learning insights to causal effect estimation. Recently, I have been thinking about how to ensure large language models produce factual and human-aligned responses. (My hunch: insights from causality can help! )
Aside from my main research, I co-organize the Machine Learning in New York City speaker series and advise AI alignment research projects at FAR AI.
