About

I’m a machine learning researcher with a PhD in cognitive science and AI from NYU Center for Data Science, advised by Brenden Lake and Todd Gureckis. My dissertation offered theoretical, empirical, and computational advances in the study of goals: how do we represent, reason about, and come up with them? My recent work follows it to study task representations in large language models using mechanistic interpretability tools (as a visiting researcher at Meta FAIR with Adina Williams). In my non-academic life, I live with my wife Sarah, and our dog Lila, and spend time making homemade hot sauces, playing board games, and lifting weights.
