Research Experience
  • Interned at Amazon in Spring 2025 with Patrick's team to improve the visual reasoning abilities of MLLMs using Reinforcement Learning.
Education
  • Pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at Dartmouth; Joined Dartmouth on September 12, 2022.
Background
  • PhD student in the Computer Science department at Dartmouth, passionate about leveraging AI and NLP to advance Social Science and Computational Health. Currently working on information extraction from texts to derive structured knowledge from unstructured narratives, aiming to improve discourse understanding. Also enthusiastic about Multimodal NLP—particularly in designing models that can effectively fuse information across various modalities to enhance reasoning capabilities and enable seamless Human-AI interaction.
Miscellany
  • Interested in applying deep learning to understand natural language.
