Hello! I am a Research Scientist in machine learning at Pioneering Intelligence, the artificial intelligence group within Flagship Pioneering. My research centers on scientific discovery through AI, with a focus on generative models, reinforcement learning, and biomolecular design.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard University, working with Sam Gershman in the Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab. I recieved my PhD in Cognitive Science from Brown University, where I worked with Michael J. Frank. My academic training was in computational neuroscience and machine learning, where I built human-like reasons models of the brain and human behavior. My published work includes neural networks, reinforcement learning, and generative models.
I split my time between Brooklyn and Cambridge. I enjoy surfing, reading and hanging out with friends and family. In that picture of me playing chess, I am losing badly.
