AI, Law, and National Security

I am a JD candidate at Yale Law School focused on artificial intelligence and national security. My work spans both AI research and policy analysis.

Before law school, I worked as an AI engineer across multiple U.S. federal agencies. I led teams building AI tools for bureaucratic processes at the Department of State, developed machine learning models at the Federal Reserve, and built quantitative tools at the Department of Defense.

I spent a year in China as a Schwarzman Scholar, where I earned a Master of Global Affairs from Tsinghua University and focused on AI and industrial policy. I received my bachelor's degree in mathematics and economics from Wake Forest University, graduating summa cum laude as a Stamps Scholar and Phi Beta Kappa. At Yale, I am an editor at the Yale Law Journal and co-president of the Jewish Law Students Association.

My writing has appeared in Foreign Affairs, The Washington Post, Foreign Policy, MIT Technology Review, Lawfare, and other outlets. You can view my selected list of publications here.
