Hey! I'm Neil Malur, and I'm majoring in Computer Science & Engineering at MIT. Right now, I'm working an internship with the Office of the Under Secretary for Economic Affairs at the Department of Commerce, and I’ve been a co-president of MIT’s South Asian Association of Students for a little over a year! I think a lot about how to build better systems in the world, and I try to use code to solve problems on the way there. In my free time, you can probably find me dancing 🕺 or figuring out how to put the pedal back onto my bike (again) 🚲, but feel free to check out some of my work on the other tabs!

My most recent work has been at the United States Department of Commerce, where I worked to apply machine learning methods to direct macroeconomic policy for alleviating geographic distress.

I've also recently done research to model polymer crystallization using reinforcement learning with MIT's Climate and Sustainability Consortium, and I'm currently working on using natural language processing to analyze the spread of misinformation online with MIT's Schwarzmann College of Computing.

My current interests are in machine learning (and particularly graph learning and NLP) and computer security, and I'm also excited to work on projects that apply them to a policy context.
