About
My group develops methods to promote the adoption and safety of machine learning in domains like medicine, consumer finance, and the physical sciences. We focus on last mile problems related to fairness, interpretability, personalization, and governance.
Previously, I held research positions at Google AI and Harvard. I also co-founded Petal, a company that uses machine learning to broaden credit access. I received a PhD in Computer Science from MIT, and Bachelors degrees in Operations Research and Economics from UC Berkeley.
