About Me

I am a 2nd-year Computer Science PhD student at the University of California, Irvine, where I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Padhraic Smyth. My research is in:

  • Model Selection and Evaluation of LLMs
  • Fairness
  • Online learning and Multi-armed bandit
  • Human-AI interaction

I am interested in creating AI that is safe, fair, and trustworthy. I am a data curator/librarian for the UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository and a member of the Steckler Center for Responsible, Ethical, and Accessible Technology.

I graduated from Pomona College, with a B.A. in Computer Science and Mathematics. Previously, I have conducted research as part of the SMALL NSF REU and the play2PREVENT Lab at Yale School of Medicine.
