Rishi Bommasani

Hi! I'm a third-year Stanford CS Ph.D. advised by Percy Liang and Dan Jurafsky.
I helped build and organize the Center for Research on Foundation Models (CRFM).
Affiliations: Stanford NLP, Stanford AI, and Stanford HAI. Funding: NSF GRFP.

I began my research journey at Cornell (BA Math & CS '16-'19, MS CS '19-'20) under the masterful guidance of Claire Cardie.
I am honored to have learned from the late Professor Arzoo Katiyar, who I profoundly miss.
During my time there, Cornell CS was my home: the department wrote this about my journey. [Profile] [Profile 2]

I research the societal impact of AI, especially foundation models.
