About

I'm grew up in Boise, Idaho, but I'm from Montreal. Now, I'm a computer science student at Princeton University researching under Prof. Peter Henderson at the Polaris Lab. Outside of research, I enjoy photography, reading, writing, running, and rock climbing.

I'm hoping to get a JD & CS PhD!

Research Interests

My interests lie in AI, law, and their intersection. So far, my work has focused on

  • Rule-based AI Alignment — Harnessing legal knowledge to create more interpretable and predictable rule-following AI systems
  • AI Evaluation — Developing new ways of holistically assessing AI systems and their jaggedness
  • AI for Discovery — Creating new agents and environments that enable automatic scientific discovery
