I am a Research Scientist at Google Research working on Gemini post-training and evals. My research focuses on multi-turn modeling and human-centric AI, with the goal of building intelligent systems capable of satisfying omnimodal, long-horizon interactions.
I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Columbia University where I was very fortunate to be advised by the amazing Zhou Yu.
My PhD was graciously supported by an NSA GFSD fellowship.
During my PhD I also spent time at Google Cloud AI Research and Amazon Alexa AI, where I worked closely with Ruoxi Sun, Sercan Arık, Alexandros Papangelis, Dilek Hakkani-Tur, and Yohan Jo.
Prior to that, I received my Bachelors in Computer Science & Statistics at Cornell University where I worked with many fantastic people including Lillian Lee, Rene Kizilcec, Joe Guinness, and Jack Hessel.
