I'm a first-year PhD student in the causal AI lab at Columbia University, where I'm advised by the wonderful Elias Bareinboim. I'm interested in the interface between theoretical computer science and 'causality', broadly construed. This spans algorithms for causal inference, algebraic statistics, and causal decision theory.
I recently graduated with a bachelor's in math and computer science (also from Columbia), during which I was fortunate to work with Christos Papadimitriou and Simon Billinge.

I've also organised seminars in algorithmic game theory (Summer 2021) and the formal semantics of programming languages (Fall 2022) with the undergraduate TCS seminar at Columbia; and taught philosophy to high-schoolers in New York through Corrupt the Youth.
I'm also very into the philosophy of math (see here for some writing), Urdu poetry, and music made in New York through the 60's and 70's.
