I’m a first year Ph.D. student in the MURGe-Lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, advised by Prof. Mohit Bansal. Prior to joining UNC, I received my master’s degree in Computer Science from Columbia University, where I was a member of the DVMM Lab advised by Prof. Shih-Fu Chang and a member of the ROAM Lab advised by Prof. Matei Ciocarlie and Prof. Shuran Song. I also work closely with Prof. Krzysztof Choromanski.

My recent research focuses on generative models, multimodal learning, and LLMs. I’m also broadly interested in theory-grounded algorithms for efficient machine learning.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my research! :)
