I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Prof. Mayur Naik. I am interested in studying how to make foundation models more accessible and trustworthy, especially in the real world. To this end, my research primarily focuses on the intersection of Efficient Deep Learning and Neurosymbolic AI.

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.
