Hi! I am a second-year Computer Science PhD student at Duke University, supervised by Prof. Monica Agrawal. Previously, I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Applied and Computational Mathematics from University of Southern California, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Yan Liu, Prof. Jesse Thomason, and Prof. Maja Matarić.

Research: My primary research interests includes understanding how data influences model behavior, especially large language models, at both training and test time to enable more reliable use. My interests include methods that leverage properties of diverse data (text, time-series, multimodal) and the detection, characterization, and mitigation of distribution shifts in both LLMs and conventional ML models. A parallel interest is applying these approaches in clinical contexts, where robustness, generalizability, and responsible deployment are critical.

Feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to discuss research or explore potential collaboration!
