I'm hiring for a machine learning data scientist & research assistant for summer 2025!
Join me on a project on invasive species management with an innovative startup doing on-the-ground removal of environmentally destructive invasives.
Paid, full-time w/ possibility to extend.
ALT Join me in working on a project on invasive species management, by predicting species risk and planning capture strategies. This work will be in partnership with an innovative startup that is working directly to capture environmentally destructive invasive species in the US. This project will be to build predictive machine learning models and design harvest strategies for Inversa’s invasive species removal efforts. The primary goal is to develop usable ML models and optimization tools to inform practical environmental decision-making on the ground. There will also be opportunities to extend this work into a research publication for a top-tier AI venue. How to apply: Please send a CV and 3–5 paragraphs of your background/interests via email to <lily.x@columbia.edu> with the subject line "Application: ML for invasive species management". Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

The US government recently flagged my scientific grant in its "woke DEI database". Many people have asked me what I will do.
My answer today in @Nature.
We will not be cowed. We will keep using AI to build a fairer, healthier world.

As AI becomes increasingly transformative, we need to think of safety not as a technical alignment problem, but as an ongoing, unsexy struggle.
