About Me

Hi, I’m Faiz (pronounced fez). I’m currently a Research Fellow at Stanford RegLab, where my research focuses on AI policy and building AI systems for the public sector. I graduated with High Honors from UC Santa Barbara in 2023 with a B.S. in Computing. Prior to RegLab, I worked in the software industry, including on the Neural Semantic Parsing team at Google.

While I'm mostly focused on AI these days, I'm also interested in many random areas of computer science and law: type systems, constitutional law, and automating the Bluebook, to name a few. You can find some of my work in these areas on my GitHub and Google Scholar pages.

One other thing dear to my heart: in college, I co-founded UCSB’s national championship-winning moot court team and served as its president for three years. I remain involved in the moot court community; I co-founded the National Association of Moot Court, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that operates a nationwide circuit of moot court tournaments for high school students.

If you have an interesting idea or good book recommendation, I’d love to hear from you.
