I am a Computer Science PhD candidate at Washington University in St. Louis, advised by Prof. Yevgeniy Vorobeychik and Prof. Brendan Juba. My research agenda is to develop foundations for pluralistic alignment—ensuring AI systems can navigate and respond to the inherent diversity and evolving nature of human values. This challenge is multifaceted: individual values shift through emotional, cognitive, and social processes, while collective values may emerge from complex societal interactions or remain undefined and contested. I aim to address alignment at both personal and societal scales, considering AI models both in terms of their internal representations and their interactions with the outside world. To this end, I integrate methods from computational social choice, learning theory, logic, and optimization to study questions of value representation, aggregation, and adaptation in AI systems. I started out as a cognitive science student at the University of Edinburgh, with the passion to figure out how mind works. While this curiosity has never diminished, it just happened that the beauty of maths struck me greatly. I ended up getting a MSc in pure maths at Imperial College London under the guidance of the amazing Paolo Cascini. My master thesis was on algebraic geometry inspired by a fantastic idea called "the periodic table of shapes". I have turned back to CS due to both the philosophical considerations and social impact of many computational problems. Outside of research, I enjoy reading, traveling, and engaging with art in all its forms. |
