Hi! I'm Victoria, an undergraduate at Harvard studying Computer Science and Statistics (with some History of Science and Mind, Brain, and Behavior mixed in). Outside class, I work on AI research at the Harvard Kempner Institute, where I study ML interpretability and human-AI interaction. I am also excited about intersections of ML with biology, health, and cognitive science. I will be attending EMNLP and NeurIPS this year, and I would love to meet anyone else going!

On campus, I spend time teaching math, computer science, and statistics courses, thinking about AI safety, facilitating projects applying technology to global health, and supporting women in CS.

Please feel free to reach out––I'd love to chat!
