Hey there! I'm a research associate at UT Austin, advised by Kyle Mahowald.
I'm drawn to ideas that develop a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms, capabilities, and limitations of language models.
Recently, I've been thinking about how we can develop reasoning models that are flexible and generalize well out-of-distribution.
I recently graduated from UC Berkeley 🐻, where I was very fortunate to be advised by Alane Suhr as part of the Berkeley NLP Group. I have also spent great summers interning at CMU LTI, working with Graham Neubig, and the MIT Lincoln Lab.
In addition to research, I spent three fun semesters teaching the data structures & algos class (CS 61B) at Berkeley. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, playing video games with my friends, and sending funny cat videos to Angela.
