Hi there! I'm a Research Engineer at Scale AI, where I work on evaluations, benchmarking, and reinforcement learning / post-training research, to train frontier models with better reasoning capabilities for state-of-the-art agents like browser & computer-use agents. My work has been published at conferences such as ICLR, ICML, and NeurIPS. Previously, I was a Research Scientist at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. I earned my MS in Computer Science (AI track) from Stanford and my BA in Computer Science and Physics from Columbia. I'm a generalist passionate about applying AI to diverse real-world challenges, from astronomy to autonomous vehicles to agents.
I am fortunate to have worked with many different professors over the course of my academic career. I conducted research in the ILIAD Lab under Prof. Dorsa Sadigh at Stanford on robotic learning using language-conditioned diffusion models, and the Stanford Vision Lab under Prof. Fei-Fei Li and Prof. Jiajun Wu on the BEHAVIOR robotic simulation benchmark. As an undergrad, I worked with Prof. Daniel Hsu and Prof. Zoltan Haiman on interpretable deep learning for astrophysics, and at Caltech with Prof. Mansi Kasliwal on image classification for the Gattini-IR telescope.
My research interests include AI evaluation methodologies, agents, reinforcement learning, and AI safety and alignment.
Everything else: Outside of work, I love dancing (I was Captain of the Columbia Raas dance team), playing the keyboard and exploring the natural landscapes in the Bay Area!
