I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Center for Research on Computation and Society hosted by Cynthia Dwork. Starting in the fall of 2026, I will be an assistant professor of computer science and data science at NYU.

I will be actively looking for students and postdocs this upcoming application cycle (25'/26').

Research Overview. My research focuses on the foundations of machine learning systems that make predictions or decisions about people. I organize my work around a mix of both theoretical and empirically driven directions. These include performative prediction and the study of prediction in resource allocation problems.

About. I earned my PhD in EECS from UC Berkeley, where I was co-advised by Peter Bartlett and Moritz Hardt, and my BA in CS and Math from Harvard. I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico where I was on the national sailing team. I won youth world championships at the under-17, 19, and 21 levels and represented Puerto Rico at the 2015 Pan American Games. I also worked on the design team during Emirates Team New Zealand's winning campaign for the 35th America's Cup in Bermuda.
