I'm working as an ML researcher at Apple. My current research interests lie in large language models, multimodal representation learning and efficient learning algorithms. I am also very interested in model compression, on-device models and machine learning frameworks. Outside of machine learning I'm curious about knots, combinatorial optimization and brewing the best cup of coffee possible.

Previously I was a robotics researcher affiliated with BAIR working under Professor Ron Fearing in the Biomimetic Millisystems Lab. I got my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley in May 2021. I specialized in NLP, distributed/parallel computing and neural code search working under Professor Alvin Cheung. You can find my Master's report here.

In my free time I like going around visiting coffee shops, climbing mountains and camping. Its not yet ready but in my blog I will write about my travels, animes I like and machine learning tutorials

This is very stale but you can visit my research page to learn more about past research.
