I’m all in on Bake AI as co-founder and CEO, working on auto research. I spend my life doing things I find interesting, following questions as far as they go. It would be a pity to pass through a universe this vast without trying to understand it. There’s always more to explore, and I’d like to get closer to what’s true.

I got my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Santa Barbara with Prof Misha Sra. I’ve also worked under Prof Alex “Sandy” Pentland’s guidance at Stanford and spent time at Google Research. I feel very lucky to have learned from such good people!

I’d love to see more women doing what interests them, on their own terms. And I want more of us deciding what gets built and which questions we go after. I’m happy to help where I can. See you at the table.

I get a lot of email and can’t always reply, but I do read every message carefully. Thank you for taking the time to write.
