I am a Ph.D. student in Technology and Social Behavior, a joint program in computer science and communications at Northwestern University. My research, supervised by Professor Ágnes Horvát, develops network-based machine learning tools to enhance crowd-aware system design. Prior to Northwestern, I was a software engineer and data scientist for Liberty Mutual Insurance and Chewy, Inc.
