About

I am a research scientist at the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) and part of Semantic Scholar Research. My primary research interests are in AI, reinforcement learning, and human-computer interaction, with an emphasis on building AI systems that interact with and support humans.

Before joining AI2, I was a postdoc in the Stanford Computer Science Department. I received my Ph.D. from the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, where I was advised by Dan Weld and Mausam. Earlier, I received my A.B. from Harvard College, where I completed a dual degree program with New England Conservatory.
