Dave Banerjee

Welcome! I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at Columbia University studying computer science, and I care about making the world a better place, especially for non-human animals. My academic interests lie in information security, artificial intelligence, ethics, physics, and cognitive science. I hope my studies better equip me to tackle issues like AI safety, information security of critical infrastructure, wild animal welfare, and factory farming.
