I am an MSc candidate at the Oxford Internet Institute and an inaugural Cosmos Fellow at the Laboratory for Human-Centered AI, supported by the Cosmos Institute.

My current research addresses the space of questions like these:

• Can large language models reason?
• How can we build robust measures of intelligent behavior in machines?
• How can we ascribe cognitive concepts to AI systems in an epistemologically and scientifically valid way?
• How does (and should) our ascription of these cognitive concepts change the shape of our interactions with AI?

I’m interested in lots of other questions that I don’t get to work on, like:

• How can decentralized consensus algorithms reshape our democratic inputs or our Republic of Science?
• Where is decentralization in collective action a virtue? A vice? Is collective action the ur problem?
• Can science fiction help us better conceptualize the (im)possibility of post-envy societies?
• Why is geometry suddenly everywhere—in thought, in culture, in semantics, in transformers?

Previously, I studied Philosophy (BAH) and Computer Science (BS) at Stanford University. I wrote a thesis about trust—what it is, philosophically, and what is required for a philosophically defensible account of trust in explainable AI literature.

I was also a Founder in Residence at Entrepreneur First, worked at Monte Carlo Data as a Founding Data Scientist, did NLP research with Stanford OVAL, and wrote three chapters of the Data Quality Fundamentals textbook with O’Reilly Media.
