I am a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, based at NYC.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University, where I was advised by Claire Cardie, with additional mentorship from Thorsten Joachims, Kianté Brantley, Daniel D. Lee and many other amazing collaborators. During my Ph.D., I also interned at Microsoft Research, working with Dipendra Misra. Prior to Cornell, I worked with Luke Zettlemoyer and Yejin Choi at the University of Washington.

Check out our MiniTorch project – a Python re-implementation of the Torch API. It is designed as a teaching library to teach machine learning engineers 1) core deep learning concepts such as tensor operations, autograd, and CUDA programming, and 2) how to engineer machine learning systems to be correct, robust, and fast. We built this DIY deep learning library primarily for the Machine Learning Engineering course at Cornell Tech.
