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 interest is to develop novel algorithms that improve the trustworthiness, robustness, and data efficiency for multimodal deep learning models. More recently, I have been focusing on enhancing fairness, hallucinations reduction and reasoning capabilities for large language models (LLMs) and large vision-language models (LVLMs). At Meta AI, I also work on continued-pretraining and finetuning Llama as the next-gen recommender backbone.
