I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, advised by Prof. Tianlong Chen.

I earned my B.S. in Computer Science and B.A. in Mathematics at Rice University, where I was advised by Dr. Richard Baraniuk and Dr. Guha Balakrishnan. Previously, I was also hosted by Dr. Reid Simmons at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University.

My research broadly focuses on Language and Vision, especially in:

• LLM Reasoning
• Multimodal Learning
