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.

I'm visiting the ELLIS Institute Tübingen and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems 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.
