About Me
About Me
I am a PhD student in Information Science at the University of Michigan, advised by Ceren Budak and Eric Gilbert. I'm interested in the intersection of computational social science and artificial intelligence. Specifically, I'm interested in (1) building novel multi-agent systems to help collectives; (2) using expeirments to evaluate the effects of AI over time.
Before starting my PhD, I did data science in advertising/ad-tech.
Non Research Interests
“Evolution of a Typical Internet Subculture”
Outside of research, I enjoy making mathematical art. Mathematical art (different from generative art in the AI sense) involves writing programs that produce art. In my case, I like to combine different statistical distributions (different randomness) with color theory. Here is my art portfolio. If anyone would like to collaborate on creative coding projects, feel free to reach out!
I write and read haikus. I wrote a blog post about why I like haikus.
I have been playing guitar since I was 13. My favorite genres are shoegaze and jazz.
