Welcome to my personal website! I’m an Assistant Professor at Harvard housed in the Department of Technology and Operations Management (TOM) at HBS. I’m Co-Principal Investigator of the Secure and Fair Machine Learning Lab (SAFR ML) in Harvard’s new D^3 Institute, and part of the Theory of Computation research group, and the AI@Harvard Initiative. My primary academic interest is in machine learning, particularly as it concerns ethical notions like fairness and (differential) privacy. More generally, I am interested in all mathematical aspects of artificial intelligence. Recently I lead the integration of algorithms I co-developed during my Ph.D. into the open source efforts of IBM AI Research. I’m also a co-founder of Welligence.
With my Co-PI Salil Vadhan, I’m currently hiring research assistants and post-docs for the SAFR ML Lab! Apply.
