About

I'm a postdoc at UC Berkeley in the BAIR lab, where I work on deep unsupervised and reinforcement learning with Pieter Abbeel. I received my PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Chicago, where I worked on statisical quantum physics with Paul Wiegmann. During my PhD I received the Bloomenthal Fellowship, awarded to the best graduate student in theoretical physics. In between my PhD and postdoc I started a company - Claire AI - which made AI products for the retail sector and went through Y Combinator (W17). My co-founder and I made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2017 for our work in retail and e-commerce. Before that, I received a BS from Yale University where I studied physics and literature.
