Hey!

I'm a CS student and AI researcher at Princeton University. I was born in the Bay Area 🌉 but have lived in Kingston, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 for my entire life.

I got started with machine learning as a researcher with the Multi-Physics Interaction Lab at the University of Waterloo. There, I was grateful to be advised by Prof. Jean-Pierre Hickey as I developed better methods to locate low-frequency atmospheric noise with neural networks.

Nowadays, I've shifted my focus to better understanding the capabilities and limitations of large foundation models through a human-centered lens as a researcher with the Computational Cognitive Science Lab and Princeton Language and Intelligence, where I'm grateful to be advised by Prof. Tom Griffiths.

I seek to elicit the true capabilities of LLMs beyond merely serving as an encyclopedia-on-call, but instead, as collaborative agents capable of meaningfully interacting with humans in complex scenarios. Every step towards this endeavour will also bring us one step closer to a future where the relationship between humans and technology will evolve symbiotically based on mutual trust and adaptation.
