Research Experience
  • Project lead for rLLM; involved in multiple research projects such as LLM post-training, agentic AI, etc.
Education
  • Currently a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at UC Santa Cruz, advised by Chenguang Wang. Previously, completed Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Mathematics, as well as a Master’s degree in Computer Science, both at Washington University in St. Louis.
Background
  • Research interests include LLM post-training, agentic AI, and scaling test-time compute for hard-to-verify tasks. Also a project lead for rLLM.
Miscellany
  • Frequently rock climbs in free time
