Announcements

  • Look out for the SPLASH-E CfP & PLMW applications coming this summer!

I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Oberlin College.

I spent the 2020-2021 school year as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Williams College. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University in 2020. Before that, I received my M.S. in Computer Science from Cornell and my B.A. in Mathematics & Computer Science from Swarthmore College.

A full CV is available here.

Teaching

I teach courses across the Oberlin CS curriculum from CS1 to Programming Languages to HCI. In both Fall 2022 and Spring 2023, I am teaching:

CSCI 150: Introduction to Computer Science
Our introductory course covering problem solving in Python.
CSCI 275: Programming Abstractions
This course covers programming languages fundamentals and functional programming in Racket.

Research

I'm interested in bridging the gap between powerful computational methods and the human-centered world. Specifically, my work considers how methods that are newly practical can be adapted to solve complex human problems in meaningful ways. This work has been made possible by my collaborators and co-authors.
