I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Stanford Computer Science Department under advisor Mike Genesereth (Logic Group), and my research is in collaboration with Deborah McGuinness (RPI). I am also a computer scientist in the Artificial Intelligence Center at SRI International. My current research involves explaining task execution and machine learning in adaptive cognitive assistants, to make learning-based systems more trustworthy for users.
