I am currently a Research Scientist at Meta AI. I got my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Chicago, where I was fortunate to have been working with Prof. Yuxin Chen, Prof. Bo Li, and Prof. Michael Maire. Prior to that, I received my Master's degree in Robotics from the Johns Hopkins University, under the supervision of Prof. Nassir Navab, and my Bachelor's degree with Honors in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I was working with Prof. Seth Hutchinson.

My research focuses on developing novel algorithms to enhance the post-training effectiveness (e.g., improved reasoning, reduced hallucinations) and efficiency (e.g., lower data and compute requirements) of multimodal large language models (MLLMs), as well as multi-agent systems that leverage them. At Meta, I also work on adapting MLLMs and agent-based frameworks for recommender systems.
