About Me


I work as a postdoc for Prof. Emma Brunskill at Stanford University. I received my PhD at the University of Massachusetts, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Philip Thomas.


My interests are at the intersection of foundation models, decision making, and formal reasoning. I have also worked on strategic data collection under unobserved confounding, reward design, and different aspects of continual and reinforcement learning.
