About

I'm a second-year Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Division within the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department at the University of Michigan. There, I'm a member of the Strategic Reasoning Group in the AI Lab. I am extremely fortunate to be advised by Prof. Michael Wellman. I hold dual US and EU citizenship.

I completed my undergraduate studies at Lafayette College where I studied Math-Economics and Statistics-Data Science (2021) and received my M.S. in Computer Science from Tufts University (2024). During my master's, I balanced full-time industry work with academic research.

During Spring and Summer 2024, I worked as a research fellow for the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), collaborating with the AI & Autonomous Decision Making Group and the Control Science Center on differential game theory, pursuit-evasion games, GNNs, and graph theory, hosted by Dr. Scott Nivison.

During spring and summer 2026, I'll be a visiting researcher at the ELLIS Institute Tübingen in Germany, working with Prof. Celestine Mendler-Dünner and the Algorithms and Society group.

My industry experience includes 2.5 years as a software engineer at Capital One on their Low Latency Data Store team, developing software for real-time credit card fraud detection, and working as a Quantitative Researcher in fixed income at Jefferies.

Research Interests

I'm broadly interested in understanding and developing safe multi-agent systems, as well as analyzing the strategic behavior of agents (AI and non-AI) in these settings either computationally or analytically. I find myself often working at some intersection between game theory/mechanism design, RL, interpretability, optimization, and learning theory.
