I work on preparing society for powerful artificial intelligence. My research interests are forecasting physical automation and understanding how society can stay stable and flourish through a transition where human labor is no longer the main source of political power and economic leverage.
I am building Robocurve, a Public Benefit Corporation developing open-source tools and independent benchmarks to measure how well robots can do real-world jobs. Previously, I was a Research Fellow at MATS, where I worked on technical AI safety research with Professor Shi Feng.
I graduated from Harvard with a Bachelor's in Computer Science and Mathematics, with a concurrent Master's in Statistics. There, I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Ariel Procaccia. My thesis, Computational Perspectives on Democracy in the Age of AI, was awarded Highest Honors.
I was elected a Rhodes Scholar in 2025. In 2024, I forecasted all 50 states correctly for the US Presidential Election. I am a gold medalist at the 2021 International Olympiad in Astronomy and Astrophysics.
