I develop foundational and applied methods for AI Measurement Sciences, drawing on tools from probabilistic machine learning and measurement theory. My research supports the scientific development of safe AI systems that serve people across diverse backgrounds and needs.

I am advised by Sanmi Koyejo and Nick Haber at the Stanford AI Lab. My research is supported by the Stanford Data Science Scholarship and the Stanford Human-Centered AI Fellowship.
