Alexis Ross

I’m a researcher at humans&, where I build user models and use them to train AI systems that collaborate more effectively with people.

I’m also wrapping up my PhD at MIT, where I worked with Jacob Andreas. My PhD research focused on modeling how people think and learn, and using these models to build more adaptive AI tutors.

Before MIT, I spent two years doing research on model safety at the Allen Institute for AI. I earned a BA in Computer Science and Philosophy at Harvard. In another life, I studied violin at Juilliard.
