Computer Science, Data Science, and Public Policy at UC Berkeley.

Hi, I’m Steven! 👋

I am a 4th-year undergraduate at the University of California, Berkeley double majoring in computer science and data science, with a minor in public policy. My research interests broadly lie in simulating behaviors with LLMs, human-AI collaboration, tools for decision-making, and technology/AI policy (with recent work on conversational AI systems, privacy, governance, and accountability), and am currently applying to graduate programs in Computer Science. My current research is advised by Professor Serina Chang in BAIR; I am also building the Tech Policy Initiative at CITRIS and the Banatao Institute, organizing an AI policy reading group at the Berkeley AI Safety Initiative, and teaching on course staff for CS 189/289A: Introduction to Machine Learning.

I’m grateful to be supported by the Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholarship and Cal Alumni Association’s Leadership Award. I am also a Data Scholar and part of the STEM Excellence through Equity and Diversity (SEED) Scholars Honors Program.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I enjoy teaching (especially CS education and science communication), reading, cooking, as well as watching the symphony and opera. I’m also a student in the UC Berkeley carillon program studying with Simone Browne and a member of the Berkeley Carillon Guild. This year, I’m challenging myself to read one book every month (with occasional accompanying blogs). Have titles to suggest or thoughts to share? Feel free to reach out — I’d love to hear from you!
