About Me

I’m a scientist, programmer, and physician-in-training.
My educational and career trajectory has largely been motivated by an interest in understanding and shaping the impact of software systems, artificial intelligence, and robotics on society. I am interested in a wide array of contemporary issues ranging from bias and discrimination arising in machine learning systems to the use of computational modeling and data science in biomedicine. I am also actively involved in researching long-term issues in AI safety, AI ethics, and AI governance related to the development of fully autonomous software and robotic systems. I have worked with underserved populations through the alcohol and narcotics rehabilitation programs at the Salvation Army in Cambridge, MA as well as Grady Memorial Hospital, the VA Hospital, Emory University Hospital, and multiple outpatient clinics in Atlanta, GA. I have worked as a data scientist and software engineer for Quantifind, Wolfram Research, and The OpenWorm Foundation. I collaborate with scientists, policy makers, health care professionals and others to ensure that AI systems in the life sciences and other industries are humanely designed, skillfully built, and positive forces in the lives of individuals, communities, companies, and the government.
