Hello đź‘‹!

I’m interested in research applying recent ML techniques to better understanding society.

This September I will be starting as a PhD working with Arvind Narayanan and Matt Salganik. Until then, I’ve returned to EPFL to work with Robert West and dlab.

Prior to returning, I spent 6 months at the Max Planck Institute in SaarbrĂĽcken analyzing internet bytes with Anja Feldmann and Ingmar Weber.

I got my undergrad in Toronto, Canada studying math and international relations. The last two of the years I had the honour of working with Ashton Anderson, Robert Soden, and Robert Bothwell!
