Hello! I am a CS Ph.D. Student at University of California San Diego (UCSD). I am fortunate to be advised by Lianhui Qin. I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree from the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science at the University of Washington (UW), Seattle. During my undergraduate time, I was forunated to work closely with Luke Zettlemoyer and Terra Blevins, who provided invaluable mentorship and guidance in my early research endeavors.

I am interested in securing a summer research internship in the industry. If you know of any relevant openings or could provide an introduction, I would deeply appreciate your support.

Research Interests

My research focuses on Machine Reasoning in Large ML Models, including Large Language Models, Vision/Multimodal Language Models, and World Models. I am particularly interested in enhancing their reasoning and planning abilities to enable more robust problem-solving. I explore how these models can be utilized by separating the world model, which simulates the world, from the inference model, which takes actions coupled with a world model. Ultimately, I aim to solve practical real-world tasks with these large models, such as embodied AI and robotics.

As I continue this exciting journey in research, I am always eager to collaborate, share insights, and learn from others in this dynamic field. Feel free to reach out to me for collaborations, discussions, or even a casual chat about research!
