Research Experience
Currently a research scientist at Allen Institute for AI. Previously, a post-doctoral researcher at Allen Institute for AI and the University of Washington, working with Yejin Choi. Interned at Microsoft Research on controllable grounded text generation and at Allen Institute for AI on unsupervised rationale generation for non-monotonic reasoning.
Education
Ph.D. (2022) in Computer Science from the University of California, Santa Cruz, under the supervision of Snigdha Chaturvedi; Master's degree (2018) in Computer Science; Bachelor's degree (2014) in Electrical Engineering; another Bachelor's degree (2012) in Electrical Engineering.
Background
Research interests include understanding language model's capabilities and limitations, particularly in unseen or changing situations; developing efficient algorithms to address these limitations, including better design for collaborative strategies and HCI interfaces to combine the best of human and AI abilities. Additionally, investigating LLM behaviors as a function of training data and alignment strategies to build more reliable and safe human-centered AI systems, and developing robust and meaningful evaluation frameworks to investigate the emergent behaviors of LLMs.
