Background
A third-year Computer Science PhD student at Stanford and an NSERC PGS-D scholar. My ultimate goal is to blend knowledge from multiple disciplines to advance AI research, particularly in aligning foundation models with human learning and capabilities, especially in reasoning, generalization, and efficiency. I have explored ways to improve the controllability of language and visual generation models, and integrate structured and multimodal information to enhance their reasoning capabilities.
