Building AI thought partners that think *with* people rather than *instead of* people Faculty Fellow at NYU CDS Incoming Assistant Professor at PurdueCS
Thrilled to announce I’ll be joining @PurdueCS as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2026! My lab will work on AI thought partners, machines that think with people rather than instead of people – I'll be recruiting PhD students this upcoming cycle so reach out & apply if interested!
🥳 Check out this quick explainer video about our ICML paper on human-like overthinking in LLM chain-of-thought!
A short 📹 explainer video on how LLMs can overthink in humanlike ways 😲! had a blast presenting this at #icml2025 🥳
How do people reason so flexibly about new problems, bringing to bear globally-relevant knowledge while staying locally-consistent? Can we engineer a system that can synthesize bespoke world models (expressed as probabilistic programs) on-the-fly?

come work with us at roundtable! we're doing cool stuff at the intersection of ml + cognitive science and research + product.
We are hiring across engineering, product, research, sales, and operations! Apply to build Proof of Human with us at workatastartup.com/companies/roun…
📢 I'm looking for a postdoc to join my lab at NYU! Come work with me on a principled, theory-driven approach to studying language, learning, and reasoning, in humans and AI agents. Apply here: apply.interfolio.com/170656 And come chat with me at #CogSci2025 if interested!
My @NYUDataScience colleague, Carlos Fernandez-Granda, released the 700-page textbook «Probability and Statistics for Data Science», where he condenses 10 years of teaching experience at @NYUniversity. 200 exercises, 102 notebooks, 115 videos! 🥳🥳🥳 ps4ds.net
One of the better posters I saw today at #icml25 This gets at the root of the problems we were thinking about when we conceived and wrote the CoT paper.
AI & Society faculty opportunity posted just this month with a start date of Fall 2025 and beyond: ubjobs.buffalo.edu/postings/57734 ‼️🐂 For "interdisciplinary scholars whose research agenda connects the study of AI with humanistic and/or social scientific line(s) of study"
Are AI scientists already better than human researchers? We recruited 43 PhD students to spend 3 months executing research ideas proposed by an LLM agent vs human experts. Main finding: LLM ideas result in worse projects than human ideas.
roundtable is on the front page of hacker news, currently at #4. help us get it to #1!!
