I'm a first-year PhD student at UC Berkeley researching cognitive biases in forecasting/risk communication (~80% of my time) and human-AI interaction, especially people's attitudes about digital sentience (~20% of my time). I also work part-time at the Forecasting Research Institute. 

Reach out to me with research ideas or pitches for other things I should be doing!
