About

I'm an undergrad at Yale studying computer science and math.

Previously, I've built software for Yale Law School, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and the University of Maryland. Currently, I lead engineering at CourseTable, the course selection tool used by all of Yale's 6,500+ undergrads. This summer, I'm working at Two Sigma in New York City.

My research is in mechanistic interpretability, with a focus on the learned structure and faithfulness of neural networks. Under the Supervised Program for Alignment Research, I studied hierarchical representations in transformers. At Yale, I work with Arman Cohan on chain-of-thought monitorability, Rex Ying on hyperbolic foundation models, and Scott Shapiro on legal AI.
