Next fall, I will be starting a PhD at the University of Virginia, advised by Professor Tom Hartvigsen. Go Hoos!
Welcome! I am Zack, a master's student in computer science studying machine learning at Dartmouth College (the birtplace of AI), advised by the fantastic Soroush Vosoughi and Peter Chin. I am affiliated with the LISP Lab and MMS Group. I like to work on socially impactful applied research in computer science, data science, and quantitative social science that helps improve people's lives. Similarly, I am passionate about making machine learning more interpretable and making interactive tools to improve our ability to interface with complicated models. Some specific domains I have researched in the past are healthcare and safety/injury prevention in sports.
In addition to research, I also love teaching and mentoring younger students and aspire to a career that combines teaching, collaboration, and mentorship with research. I have been a teaching assistant five times for three different classes and enjoy working with students in office hours. This term, I am giving a guest lecture about machine learning engineering and deployment for the CS52 course at Dartmouth.
Prior to becoming a master's student, I was a Dartmouth undergraduate studying computer science, statistics, and history. As an undergraduate, I worked as a data scientist for Dartmtouth's football team. My work led to a rule change proposal to improve safety in Ivy League football. I also have experience in industry at Amazon, Smartsheet, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Likewise. Please see my CV for more information about my background and experience.
