I'm Kai. I want to build technology to understand, protect, and connect with the natural world. Right now, I'm building video models to help scientists analyze animal behavior in conjunction with language, at Earth Species Project.
I worked in the Beery Lab on automating tracking salmon in sonar video after graduating from MIT in physics. Before this, I worked on nuclear security at MIT LNSP, simulated core-collapse supernovae at LANL, and did plasma physics research with Nuno Loureiro.
I like writing, making visual art, bouldering, the ocean, Kazuo Ishiguro, ice skating, musical theater, and many more things.
I have a tortoise named Tortellini. You can say hi!
