I am broadly motivated by complex human systems with implications for social good. I am interested in bridging the modeling/simulation and policy solution gap between:
complex models with rational agents from game theory and reinforcement learning
complex models with empirical sociological/psycological models of cognitive biases
Simple, intuitive, implementable policy solutions utilizing insights from information economics and cryptography; In other words, changing the rules, costs, rights, and technical-capabilites of the information systems through which the agents understand the world and each other
Over the past year I have worked with Marhsall Van Alsytne on empiricaly validating information-economic solutions to the misinformation problem. Having previously studied at the Mortenson Center in Global Engineering, I hope to address problem that trouble the most disadvantaged globally. My graduate application Statement of Purpose may give more description to my interests.
I started at BU CDS in Fall 2022, with expected graduation Spring 2027. I have a BS and professional masters in Mechanical Engineering from CU Boulder.
