Alejandro Salinas de León
I am an NLP Research Fellow at Stanford Law School, working under the guidance of Professor Julian Nyarko to apply NLP and machine learning to legal and policy questions. My research interests include computational law, algorithmic fairness, aligning machine learning, and AI governance. Before joining Stanford, I interned as a Data Engineer at Meta, where I focused on improving the recommendation systems for Stories and Reels through feature engineering. I graduated from Tecnologico de Monterrey as a Physics Engineer in 2023 and as a Lawyer in 2022, earning the distinction of Valedictorian for the Law graduating class of 2022. Additionally, I have collaborated with both private and public entities in Mexico and Silicon Valley to develop AI-safe solutions.
