Research Experience
  • Currently a Member of Technical Staff (Research Scientist) at the Alignment Science team at Anthropic.
Education
  • PhD in Computer Science from Columbia University, co-advised by Prof. Kathy McKeown, Prof. He He, and Prof. Zhou Yu. Received a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Columbia University in April 2021.
Background
  • Research interests include natural language processing, AI safety, and machine learning. Current research directions are: i) Explainability: building explainable deep learning systems and understanding how LLMs behave, and ii) Reliability: improving the calibration and reducing the sensitivity of LLMs.
