I am currently seeking both Research Software Engineering positions and faculty positions at small liberal arts colleges. I am constraining my search to the Northeastern United States. Please feel free to reach out!

I am a Flatiron Research Fellow in the Center for Computational Neuroscience at the Simons Foundation. My research sits at the intersection of dynamical systems theory and machine learning, with a focus on developing minimal models of complex processes. I am strongly motivated by the goal of making AI systems safer, more transparent, and easier to regulate.

Across my work, I find myself returning to a core set of themes:

• Complexity: How can a system be described using the smallest set of variables that still captures its essential dynamics?

• Compositionality: How can we decompose complex systems into manageable, modular pieces?

• Interpretability: How should dynamics and generic functional approximations be interpreted by humans?

These challenges arise across scientific disciplines; I aim to address them using principled mathematical and computational tools that generalize accordingly.

Outside of research, I share my home with my wonderful partner and two mischievous cats. I enjoy playing volleyball recreationally, and I both play and make video games. Somewhat ironically, science is also one of my hobbies: I often find myself working on small side projects after work.
