MS CS @ UC San Diego

Hey! I'm a M.S. grad student researcher currently working on my thesis in the field of mechanistic interpretability under Prof. Lily Weng.

Previously, I completed my BS in Computer Science Honors and Data Science at UW-Madison, where I completed my senior honors thesis with Prof. Fred Sala. I also worked with Prof. Vikas Singh on multi-modal emotion understanding and conformal prediction, and with Prof. Junjie Hu on VLM benchmarking for safety-critical scenarios.

I was also the Technical Lead at the Wisconsin AI Safety Initiative (WAISI) and received the Student Employee of the Year for Innovation and Technology award (and MASEA Runner Up 2025).

Research Interests: Multi-modal Models · Reinforcement Learning · Interpretability · Computer Vision · AI Safety
