👋 Hi, I'm Stella!

I'm a first year PhD student in Technology & Operations Management @ Harvard Business School. Broadly, I’m interested in using computational and causal methods to study the economics that shape new technologies, and in turn, how those technologies reshape firms. In my free time, I organize hikes, jog through cities, explore new coffee shops, and play movie soundtracks on the piano.

I recently graduated with a degree in Data Science @ UC Berkeley. During my time there, I started Berkeley's chapter of Peaks & Professors, worked on AI and innovation research, hosted speaker events, and taught econometrics.

Previously, I worked at Amazon, NASA, and Apex146. I've also been involved in research projects at the Data Innovation and AI Lab @ Berkeley Haas, D^3 @ HBS, Computational Approaches to Human Learning Lab @ Berkeley, and Sensory Systems and Behavior Lab @ UCSB.

"I believe the greatest challenge of the 21st century is to make an increasingly fast-moving technical world ‘legible’ to a large number of people. My belief is that by solving these information asymmetries, we will naturally build the infrastructures necessary to maintain stability in an era of great change and possibility. Things will be weird. Be not afraid.”
