External Bio

I'm a Computer Science PhD student at Stanford, supervised by Tatsunori Hashimoto and Christopher Potts. I work on the data-centric side of AI, focusing on ways to improve pretraining data. Previously, I was a founding member of the technical staff at Contextual AI (a startup working on retrieval augmented generation), a research engineer at Hugging Face, a research associate at Facebook AI Research, and a research associate at MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences. Before that, I received my MEng and BS at MIT, while also contributing to computer vision research for the Mars Sample Return mission at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab.
