I’m a PhD student at UC Berkeley with a research focuses on interpreting/evaluating generative models and automating data science on unstructured data.

I am happily advised by Joey Gonzalez in Sky Computing Lab and Trevor Darrell in the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research lab, and am a part of Chatbot Arena, a platform for community-driven LLM/VLM evaluations.

I also have Tourette Syndrome, so please excuse any snorting, squeaking, eye rolling, or other out-of-distribution behavior if you meet me IRL. I wrote an essay on the topic if you would like to learn more, or feel free to ask me questions directly.

I also have a low-budget podcast with my friend Conor Power where we interview academics about their research and PhD life. You can find episodes on Spotify and Youtube. Fair warning it is very much still in its cringe phase.
