I'm an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science department at Dartmouth College where I lead the SAHAS Lab (Science and Art of Human-AI Systems).

My research asks how we can make AI systems work better for people, with two broad current directions:

1. Science of measurement for AI agents. How do we measure and predict the behavior of AI agents, so that we can better understand when and how they will serve our goals? [e.g., 1–4]
2. Science of AI augmentation for human capacity. What new human capabilities do modern AI systems make possible, and how can we best use them to expand what people are able to do? [e.g., 5–9]

I also work on related questions about human interaction with advanced AI systems and the broader ecosystem in which they are built and deployed, for example how people interpret and make decisions about AI systems or AI-generated content.

Before this, I did my PhD at MIT. I'm also a musician and composer; I received my BM from the Berklee College of Music in 2017 (studying classical music composition, jazz, and computer music), where I was later an instructor. I continue to explore the relationship between music, sound, and AI in my research and am part of the Digital Arts program at Dartmouth.
