I am an incoming PhD student at UC Berkeley, where I’ll be advised by Sewon Min
as part of the Berkeley AI Research (BAIR)
and the Berkeley NLP Group.
I am supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
Previously, I did my undergrad at
the University of Southern California, where I had a wonderful time working with my advisors, Robin Jia and
Swabha Swayamdipta.
I'm generally interested in investigating data and architectural design choices during model pre-training that can make models controllable and reliable.
Before NLP, I dabbled with a little bit of computational biology research.
