I am a final-year PhD candidate in computer science at University of Southern California, where I work in the USC-NLP Group. My advisors are Xiang Ren and Jay Pujara. I'm interested in improving and evaluating large language models (LLM) reasoning, communicating agents, and human-AI collaboration for new discoveries.
Previously, I received undergraduate degree in Mathematics of Computation from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where I worked with Kai-Wei Chang and Yizhou Sun. I've also interned at Google Bard (working with Shyam Upadhyay and Manaal Faruqui, Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2) (working with Prithviraj Ammanabrolu, Chris Callison-Burch, and Yejin Choi), and Amazon Alexa AI (working with Yang Liu and Dilek Hakkani-Tur).
Currently, I am a Research Collaborator at Google DeepMind (working
with Swaroop Mishra, Huaixiu Steven Zheng, Denny Zhou, and
Quoc V. Le).
I'm on the job market this year! If you are hiring and interested, drop me an email, I'm more than happy to chat :-)
