About
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at UC San Diego, where I work with Berk Ustun on human-AI interaction. My goal is to help people use AI in the most effective way. It is a hard problem, because it breaks down on three fronts at once (the person, the model, and the interaction between them), and we lack a clear methodology for studying it. In my research, I build methods to measure human-AI interaction, then use them to learn what people actually need, and engineer systems that meet those needs.
Before my Ph.D., I was a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, where I worked with Falk Lieder on interpretable reinforcement learning and interventions to improve human planning. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from McGill University, and an M.S. in Cognitive Science and a B.S. in Mathematics and Cognitive Science from the University of Warsaw.
