I'm a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Northeastern University, working in the Rad Lab and Network Science Institute (NetSI). My research sits at the intersection of machine learning, network science, and human behavior.
- 🧠 Veracity in Large Language Models (LLMs): understanding how models encode factual inforamtion.
- 🌐 Networked Intelligence: modeling belief diffusion and collective reasoning in interconnected AI-human systems.
- ⚖️ Interpretability: building transparent, trustworthy ML tools for behavioral and social data.
- 💡 Modeling Trajectories with LLMs
- Trilemma of Truth: dataset and analysis framework exploring how LLMs represent and use factual information.
- sAwMIL (Sparse-Aware Multiple Instance Learning): Multiple-Instance SVM classifier
- LIFE2VEC and life2vec-light: transformer model for life-course prediction using population-scale registry data (developed during my PhD).

P.S. Carlo Marx is a character in Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road ...and DK? I don't have any great references with that one; it just stands for 'Denmark'.
“That last thing is what you can't get, Carlo. Nobody can get to that last thing. We keep on living in hopes of catching it once for all.” Jack Kerouac (On the Road)
