About Me
I am a researcher and graduate student in the DREAM Lab at UMass Amherst working with Gerome Miklau and Dan Sheldon. Before this, I was a Data Scientist at Allstate, an affiliate researcher at the Fiscal Research Center at Georgia State University, and studied mathematics and logic at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

This radio program on Frank Ramsey influenced my thinking and interests greatly.
Research Interests
Differential Privacy, Explainable Machine Learning, Learning Theory,
Causation, Formal Epistemology
My research involves using tools from mathematics, logic, and machine learning to approach a problem from a novel perspective.
