About Will
Hi! I’m a machine learning researcher based in New York City.

I am a member of Morgan Stanley’s Machine Learning Research group, where I have been primarily working on projects related to language models and sequential prediction. I completed my PhD (CS) at Columbia, where I was fortunate to be co-advised by Christos Papadimitriou and Tim Roughgarden.

Before that, I was an undergrad (CS + philosophy) and masters (DS) student at Penn, and I’ve spent time in research and engineering roles at AWS, Two Sigma, MongoDB, and AmFam
