Hi! I'm a Principal Research Scientist at Salesforce Research, based in New York. I completed my Ph.D. in CS in 2021, advised by
Marti Hearst and John Canny at UC Berkeley.
I work at the intersection of ML, NLP, and HCI, evaluating AI systems in interaction with humans. Current systems that succeed at complex tasks on their own often degrade sharply when they need to collaborate with people. I ask: how do we measure this autonomous-collaborative gap, and how do we build AI systems to close it? See my research garden below for a visual organization of some of my work, or my Google Scholar page for a full list of publications.
