I am a data science doctoral student in the UChicago Knowledge Lab working with James A. Evans. 

I am a computational social scientist. I study societal AI, with a particular focus on the following aspects:

• science, innovation, and creativity;

• responsible AI and AI evaluations;

• language agents.

I publish in both computing and social sciences, with papers appearing in leading venues including Nature Communications, Quantitative Science Studies, and WWW, as well as additional work currently under revision and resubmission at Poetics, among others. 

Before Chicago I studied computer science and evolutionary biology at Michigan State, worked briefly in the tech industry, and did a research associateship at Harvard Business School.
