I am a PhD student in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University, currently advised by Dr. Tom Mitchell and Dr. Yuanzhi Li. I also work closely with Dr. Ruslan Salakhutdinov and Dr. Amos Azaria.

I currently work extensively with large language models (LLMs) and reinforcement learning, on embodied reasoning, agent design, and RLHF.

I am generally interested in solving sequential decision problems with information from unstructured natural language (e.g., instruction manuals or news articles).

During my undergraduate at CMU, I have done research in Biorobotics Lab under Dr. Howie Choset and MultiComp Lab under Dr. Louis-Philippe Morency. Recently, I completed my undergraduate thesis on GANs under the supervision of Dr. Zhiting Hu and Dr. Eric Xing. I also worked with Dr. Ruslan Salakhutdinov on sequence generative models in collaboration with Apple Inc.
