Background
- Research interests include large language models (LLMs) as ethical decision-makers, with a focus on value alignment, procedural reasoning, and personalization. The research focuses on how well LLMs align with human moral and fairness judgments in collective decision-making domains such as resource allocation, kidney allocation, and matching markets; how reliably they can execute principled algorithms for aggregating preferences; and how they can be used to elicit individuals’ moral values from noisy responses and provide personalized ethical advice.
Miscellany
- Into reading, theater, and debating; played a number of sports and always enjoys playing anything new.
