I am a first year PhD student at the University of Utah Kahlert School of Computing. I am a member of UtahNLP, where I am advised by Prof. Ana Marasović. I primarily study where and why AI models diverge from human behavior, and how to use these differences to understand the underlying mechanisms of how models reason better. I explore this problem through the development of benchmarks which test models performance on reasoning tasks compared to humans, and through interpretability methods, to translate model behavior into insights that people can understand.
Outside of research, I spend most of my time rock climbing, running and skiing in the mountains around Salt Lake City. You can check out what I'm up to in climbing on 8a, and running on Strava.
