About
I am a second-year PhD candidate at Tufts University, advised by Prof. Yingjie Lao. Prior to that, I received an M.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Connecticut, and earned a triple degree from Brandeis University, majoring in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, and Economics.
My research spans generative and foundational AI systems across vision and language. I work on 3D generative vision systems, diffusion-based models, large language models, and code generation models, with an emphasis on adversarial behavior, robustness, and the reliable deployment of large-scale AI systems. I am currently exploring world models and agentic security systems.
I am always open to collaborations and ideas, please send me an email if you'd like to connect.
