Hi! I’m a research scientist on the AI for Modern Recommendation Systems (MRS) Team at Meta AI.
My research is at the intersection of natural language processing
and machine learning
. In particular, I’m excited about:
- model explainability: explaining language model behavior more faithfully, plausibly, and efficiently.
- explanation-based learning: operationalizing explanations to improve language model generalization and decision-making.
Previously, I was a research intern at Meta AI and an engineering intern at Google.
I recently earned my PhD in computer science from the University of Southern California. During my PhD, I was advised by Prof. Xiang Ren at the INK Lab. Before that, I earned my MSE in robotics from the University of Pennsylvania and my BS in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland.
Currently, I’m based in the Washington, DC metro area, where I live with my wife. Outside of work, I enjoy playing/watching basketball, skiing, hiking, reading, board gaming, and foodie-ing. Also, I’m a huge fan of the TV shows Seinfeld and BoJack Horseman.
