Background
  • Currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS), Rutgers University, hosted by David Pennock and Lirong Xia.
  • Research focuses on designing theoretically robust evaluation metrics to incentivize high-effort human feedback, evaluate data quality, and supervise AI systems.
  • Earlier work centers on peer prediction, aiming to design scoring and reward mechanisms that elicit honest, high-effort information without ground truth.
  • Recent work examines how generative AI reshapes data collection, investigating methods to detect and discourage LLM-generated or low-effort feedback and safely use noisy or misaligned AI feedback in downstream decision-making.
  • One of the main organizers of the annual Workshop on Incentives in Academia (WINA).
