I’m currently a first year PhD student at CMU in the Machine Learning Department in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Jun-Yan Zhu and Prof. Ruslan Salakhutdinov. I’m also a Rales Fellow at CMU in the inagural 2024 cohort.

In the past, I was a Masters of Machine Learning student at CMU and an AI and Math double major at CMU. As a masters student, I was honored to be selected as a Siebel Scholar. As an undergrad, I was awarded The Mark Stehlik Introductory and Service Teaching Award for my work teaching discrete mathematics.

My research interests include generative modeling for vision and visual tasks, as well as multimodal machine learning in the generative modeling space. In the past I worked on the intersection of applied and theoretical machine learning.

On the fun side, I love sports, and like to play basketball, volleyball, ping pong, and pickleball. I also like doing origami, and I’ve been folding since I was very young.
