HOLLY JACKSON
I’m a third-year PhD student in computer science at UC Berkeley advised by Ben Recht.
Previously, I received my Bachelor’s in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT and my Master’s in human rights studies from Columbia University. I work on on interdisciplinary applications of computer science, from astrophysics to history to politics.

Note to current Berkeley undergraduate students -> We are looking to hire an undergraduate student researcher to contribute to an exciting collaboration between UC Berkeley and NASA Ames during the Spring 2026 semester (with possible extension to the summer). The student will extend an existing 3D reconstruction pipeline to multispectral image data and assist with related low-light mapping tasks. This is a paid position funded through a contractor role with NASA Ames. For further information on the project and to fill out an application, see here. Applications are due Monday, Jan 26.
