Current Penn PhD
Research interests
I study machine learning ecosystems where ML models (such as LLMs) interact with other ML models, humans, and model-providers. I aim to steer how multi-agent interactions shape safety, performance, and society. For example, we investigate scaling laws under competition, feedback loops with LLM agents, and market entry for LLM providers.
