I'm generally interested in AI alignment and understanding how AI works using mechanistic interpretability methods. Check out my research page for more! 

Currently, I’m working as a technical researcher on the Welfare Alignment Project at NYU’s Center for Mind, Ethics, and Policy, and as an AI Sentience Scholar through Neuromatch.

I recently graduated with a PhD in Psychology at Princeton University where I studied consciousness, attention schema theory, and human-AI interaction in Professor Michael Graziano's lab. In my doctoral work, I used cognitive neuroscience techniques to investigate brain mechanisms supporting perception of mind, and the intersection of AI and human behavior by exploring behavioral outcomes and how our brains respond when engaging with AI systems. 

Outside of the lab, I’ve been actively involved in projects that promote responsible AI development, driven by both enthusiasm for AI's potential and a recognition of the ethical concerns it raises.

These experiences, along with every research project and opportunity I’ve taken on, have shaped my commitment to a career in scientific discovery, where every day is a chance to learn something new.
