Hi, I’m Selena. I am a first-year Computer Science Ph.D. student at Stanford University. I am grateful to be supported by a Stanford Graduate Fellowship.

I am broadly interested in how humans and machines understand and communicate, both within their own systems and with one another. Currently, I am thinking about deriving cognitive interpretability in complex systems. In my research, I use tools from both artificial intelligence (like playing with large language models) and cognitive neuroscience (like scanning people’s brains with functional MRI).

Before coming to Stanford, I spent two years as a research assistant with Ev Fedorenko at MIT. Before that, I graduated from Haverford College studying Mathematics and Cognitive Science. During undergrad, I also interned at Stanford’s Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) and UMD’s Program in Combinatorics and Algorithms for Real Problems (REU-CAAR).
