Hey there! I am a Senior studying Computer Science at UC Berkeley.
Previously, I spent a great summer interning with the AI Technology Group
at the
MIT Lincoln Lab. Currently, I am an undergraduate researcher in the
Berkeley NLP Group,
where I have been very fortunate to be advised by
Alane Suhr.
My research interests broadly span natural language processing and machine learning, with a focus on improving our understanding of neural models through interpretability and evaluation.
Recently, I have been exploring the multilingual capabilities of LLMs and mechanistic explanations of emergent behaviors.
I'm also excited about work that draws on linguistic principles to study the foundations of language modeling!
In addition to research, I'm grateful to have spent three wonderful semesters teaching the data structures & algos class (CS 61B) at Berkeley.
In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, playing video games with my friends, and sending funny cat videos to
Angela.
