I'm a PhD student working to ensure that technology has a positive impact on people's lives. My most recent research concerns misinformation on social media, and how effective a new misinformation-fighting intervention is at mitigating its spread.
I studied statistics as an undergrad and began my career as a data scientist at a consulting firm. Nowadays my research relies on a variety of quantitative methods, from traditional statistics and causal inference to machine learning and newer NLP, CV, or speech processing techniques.
Outside of research, I spend time with my dog, drink boba with my girlfriend, and chat with friends and family. I might like chatting with you too, so feel free to drop me an email if you think our research interests are aligned, or you're curious to hear more about my work :)
