I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy, working with Peter Henderson. I’m also an Affiliate Faculty member at the University of Washington School of Law, where I earned my doctorate degree, deeply indebted to the incredible guidance from Tadayoshi Kohno, Ryan Calo, and Amy X. Zhang.
My research focuses on the social impacts of AI technologies and the development of socio-technical mitigations. Regarding the latter, I view fundamental legal principles as actively shaping technology’s meaning, not just reactively catching up to it. My approach is highly cross-disciplinary, ranging from legal analysis to large-scale human subject studies. I thrive on collaborations with scholars from diverse backgrounds (law, computer science, sociology, psychology) and career levels, which often lead to serendipitous moments.
My work has been supported by the Fulbright Scholarship, OpenAI Democratic Inputs to AI Grant, Schmidt Science Award, and the Consumer Reports Tech Fellowship.
