As a member of the AI Red Team, I assisted in investigations and adversarial testing of several AI systems.

My contributions included:

• Assessment of a variety of attack surfaces including violence, fairness, and leakage
• Preparation of a playbook for investigating leakage harms including intellectual property, protected data, and geolocation data
• Developing an experimentation workflow that was generalized into a cookbook in the open-source PyRIT library
• Participation in work cited in the GPT-5 System Card

As a member of the Center for Data Science and AI, I collaborated with technical colleagues and subject matter experts on a variety of projects in social science, data science, and responsible AI.

My contributions included:

• Participation on more than 40 data science and AI projects for federal government clients (CDC, NIH, Dept of Education, Dept of Justice) and foundations (Gates Foundation, Arnold Ventures, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation)
• Authorship on 16 peer-reviewed papers
• Presentations at 36 conferences, including several as an invited speaker
• Leadership in drafting RTI generative AI use policies and development of responsible AI protocols including impact assessment and red-teaming
• Representing RTI on the NIST US AI Safety Institute Consortium
• Quoted in major publications including New York Times, Scientific American, Washington Post, and TIME for research on COVID reinfections and Long COVID

I served as an AmeriCorps college adviser with the Duke College Advising Corps at a rural North Carolina high school. Some of my contributions included:

• Increasing the college going rate by 25%
• Nearly doubling the number of students taking the SAT
• Increasing the total scholarships awarded from $2.7 million to $7.6 million
