Hello, Welcome! 👋

I am a first-year M.S. student in Computer Science at Georgia Tech logoGeorgia Institute of Technology, working with Prof. Wei Xu and Prof. Alan Ritter. Previously, I received my B.S. in Statistics from Illinois Block I logoUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).

My research focuses on large language models (LLMs), multimodal AI, and machine learning, with a particular interest in building adaptive and reliable AI systems that can learn, reason, and interact with complex real-world environments.
