I am a research scientist at Netflix Research, where I work on reward modeling and model evaluation and alignment for the homepage recommendation system.

I received my Ph.D. in Statistics and Data Science at Yale University in 2024, advised by Jas Sekhon. My research interests are application-driven and span generative AI, causal machine learning, and interpretability. Before Yale, I completed my undergraduate work in probability and statistics, economics, and computer science at UC San Diego in 2018.
