Biography

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at MIT CSAIL, advised by Prof. David Karger and a member of the Haystack Group and UID Group at MIT. I work on designing and building systems to improve discourse, collaboration, and understanding on the web, with applications to social media, news, political discourse, education, and civic engagement. I also conduct research on computational analysis of large-scale social data to understand topics in the social sciences. My general interests are social computing, HCI, and computational social science. Prior to MIT, I worked as a software engineer, completed a Masters in CS as a Gates Scholar at Cambridge, and a Bachelor in CS from Rutgers.
