Manhattan, New York

Hey :wave:! I’m a first year CS PhD student at Cornell Tech :bear: :aerial_tramway:, fortunate to be supported by the NSF GRFP. I am also a Guest Researcher at the Flatiron Institute.

My research interests are broadly in probablistic machine learning :robot: :

  • generative models (especially diffusion LLMs)
  • AI4Science
  • sampling & statistical inference

Previously I interned at Uber working on RL for experimentation.

Before grad school, I spent two wonderful years at the Flatiron Institute with Dr. Bob Carpenter. Before that, I graduated from Columbia :lion: with a BA in Applied Math.
