About me

I’m an undergrad student at MIT currently taking a gap semester in SF! This fall, I’m a visiting research assistant at Stanford Social and Language Technologies (SALT) lab led by Diyi Yang. I’m generally interested in training models to be more aligned with humans by teaching them to have a deeper awareness of humans’ long term goals.
