I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Prof. Mayur Naik. I am interested in studying how to make artificial intelligence more accessible and reliable, especially in the real world. To this end, my research primarily focuses on foundation models for program synthesis, neurosymbolic reasoning, and multimodal learning.
Before my Ph.D., I obtained a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley. I also interned at Tortuga AgTech, where I taught robots how to pick fruit.
