About Me
Hi! I’m a computer science PhD student in the INK Lab at the University of Southern California (USC), where I’m advised by Prof. Xiang Ren. I’m also part of USC’s Information Sciences Institute (ISI).
My research is at the intersection of natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning. In particular, I’m excited about building NLP systems that are more knowledgeable and trustworthy, so that anyone can effortlessly access whatever information they’re looking for.
Outside of research, you might find me playing/watching basketball (my only real hobby), urban hiking (haven’t done this since like 2019, but I’m still counting it), or pushing around an overloaded shopping cart at Costco (you’ll understand when you’re older).
