I am currently a first-year MSML student at Carnegie Mellon University. Previously, I completed my undergraduate studies in Computer Science at University of Rochester, where I had the privilege of being advised by Prof. Jiebo Luo. I have also collaborated with Prof. Haohan Wang at UIUC DREAM Lab. In the summer of 2024, I was a visiting researcher at Washington University in St. Louis with Prof. Jiaxin Huang.
My research interests lie in improving training and inference efficiency as well as model alignment of both LLMs and VLMs.
Feel free to email me if you are interested in collaborating or discussing research ideas.
