I've been fortunate to work with the following organizations and partners to grow my skill set.
-
University of Washington
I've been a grad student advised by Richard Anderson in the ICTD lab since 2020. We work together on problems at the intersection of socio-technical systems and AI. I had a previous stint at UW through an NSF-funded research experience for undergraduates (REU). Through this program, I was placed at UW in my junior summer to work with Linda Shapiro. We worked on segmenting tumors in breast histopathological images as well as AI-enabled melanoma detection.

Microsoft Research India
I've been an intern at MSRi with Mohit Jain, working on applications at the intersection of LLMs and health for low resource settings. I've been fortunate to work with Bill Thies & Sunayana Sitaraman over the course of my internship.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
I consulted for BMGF on their AI-enabled, handheld ultrasound portfolio, working with Amanda Schwartz and Ari Moscowitz. Though this work, I got to learn so much about BMGF's process of productizing interventions by building strong partnerships - all the way from funding basic research, designing and developing tools, carrying out demand creation, to finally integrating and monitoring tools in-country.
-
MIT Lincoln Laboratory
I was super lucky to start my full-time career at the Lab under the supervision of Allan Wollaber. We thought about some of the US government's tough problems at the intersection of AI and computer networks as well as AI and health.
-
Legal Aid Society
I interned at the Legal Aid Society early in undergrad on a team that came together to reengineer a biased proprietary DNA analysis software that was being used to determine criminal guilt. The team's work led to the use of this tool being stopped in NY state, but the real takeaway from this internship was getting to bear witness to how amazing public defenders are - giving their careers to serve disenfranchised people whom the legal system not only ignores, but actively oppresses.
-
New York University
During my undergrad as a scholarship student at NYU, I worked several jobs - as an admin aide at the Dean's office, a Graph Theory course co-instructor for high school students, a College Leader that supported 30 incoming freshman, and a TA for Data Structures, just to name a few.
