Data center & AI policy

I am a research fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation, where I work on AI policy. Historically, my work has focused on infrastructure: AI factories (f.k.a. "data centers"), grid modernization, and utilities reform. I have published and testified on the buildout of AI factories as well as behind-the-meter generation.

I write Policy Gradients, a Substack about data centers and AI policy. Previously, I did a stint in data science research and worked at a turbine design startup, where I designed computational fluid dynamics experiments.

I did my M.A. in Statistics & Data Science, B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, and B.A. in Applied Math. Prior to that, I studied classical flute performance.
