About

I am a Senior Applied Scientist at Microsoft in the Office of Applied Research. I graduated with a Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and completed a postdoc at Microsoft.

My research sits at the intersection of Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, and Human-Computer Interaction. I'm broadly interested in developing models which are personalized to users or groups of users and while also enabling users to have agency over models. Currently, I am interested in LLM post-training from "in-the-wild" interactions and building LLM systems for knowledge work.
