I’m a first-year PhD student in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT, advised by Rebecca Saxe. I work on computational models of social cognition, and I’m particularly interested in how humans think about and communicate about social norms and relationships. Previously, I graduated from Harvard College in 2022 with a B.A. in Chemistry & Physics and a language citation (minor) in Modern Standard Arabic.

Outside of research I like to think about internet culture, read fiction, and run + bike around Cambridge and Somerville.
