I'm a policy analyst at RAND Corporation where I research technology and national security topics. I also work on reports about AI policy, biosecurity, and emerging technologies.
I'm currently doing a PhD in Computer Science at Michigan State University, working on speech processing and natural language processing projects under Professor Arun Ross.
I'm interested in how technology and policy intersect, and I enjoy building things that work.
At RAND, I work on various technology policy projects including:
For my PhD, I'm exploring problems in speech processing and working on understanding how to make AI systems more helpful for people.
I have an M.S. in Computer Science from Michigan State University, where I worked on speaker recognition systems. Before that, I studied computer science and got interested in how technology affects society.
