PDF Resume
I am a first year PhD Student at Umass Amherst, working with Dr. Yuriy Brun at the Laboratory for Software Engineering Research (LASER). My research is focused in two areas - the first is using machine learning in combination with theorem prover tools such as Coq to automate proof synthesis, with the aim being to create tools to aid in proving software correctness. The second area of my research is in the impact of visualization and text explanations on user trust in machine learning models, particularly when those models are discriminatortory. Before coming to UMASS, I worked for six years in industry as a Cyber Research and Innovation Engineer. I received my Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from Boston University in 2015 and my MS in Computer Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2018.
