Published multiple papers in AI/ML, including 'Force Prompting: Video Generation Models Can Learn and Generalize Physics-based Control Signals' (NeurIPS 2025) and 'Fourier Head: Helping Large Language Models Learn Complex Probability Distributions' (ICLR 2025); holds a patent titled 'Methods and systems for automatically generating and executing computer code using a natural language description of a data manipulation to be performed on a data set' (U.S. Patent Application No. WO 2024/073098 A1); has publications in mathematics such as 'Large sets with small injective projections' (Annales Fennici Mathematici, 2021).
Research Experience
Engaged in research on machine learning, computer vision, and AI during PhD studies; took a professional leave of absence after obtaining a master’s degree to gain exposure to ML in industry, interned at American Express AI Labs, Akkio (a no-code AI startup), and Captions (an AI video editing startup); did two summers of research with Ken Ono at Emory University's Research Experience for Undergraduates program as an undergraduate.
Education
PhD student at Brown University's Department of Mathematics, advised by Chen Sun; previously conducted research in analytic number theory and cryptography under Jeff Hoffstein in the math department; received a master's degree in mathematics in spring 2022; undergraduate from Wesleyan University, participated in Math in Moscow and Budapest Semesters in Mathematics programs; undergraduate math research advisor was Ken Ono.
Background
Research interests include machine learning, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. Current research focuses on video generative modeling and world modeling, enjoys training deep generative models that approximate real-world physics.
Miscellany
Inspired by the life of Walter Pitts, who proposed the first mathematical model of the neural network.
