About me

I am the co-founder and Chief Science Officer of DatologyAI, where our automated data curation platform enables customers to train world-class foundation models. If you’re an experienced research scientist and/or engineer who wants to build tools to improve deep learning models by intervening on training data, please get in touch.

Previously I was Head of Data Research at MosaicML.

I also spent 1.5 years at FAIR, where I applied empirical approaches to understand deep learning systems under the supervision of Ari Morcos and Sergey Edunov. The publications section of my site has summaries of all my work.

For my doctorate I studied the neurobiology of cognition at McGill University in Montréal with Julio Martinez-Trujillo. A friend once described my work as “translating weak electrical discharges in the brain into strong scientific statements about the mind”.

Both my neuroscience and machine learning research have been motivated by an interest in how complex systems and high-dimensional information can be represented humanely and communicated meaningfully.
