My face, Llamapalooza '25

I'm an EECS undergraduate at UC Berkeley, aspiring ML researcher, with interests on both ends of the LLM stack, from harness engineering and evaluating agents to compute-aware efficient training and inference.

Currently, I research how to make verifiable and rigorous agents for healthcare research at UCSF's Center for Intelligent Imaging.

Previously, I interned under an analyst developer at Boeing and worked on GAN research under graduate student advisment at MIT CSAIL.

Experience

Research Assistant

UCSF Radiology, Sohn Lab

Building and evaluating agentic systems for verifiable and impact-aware biomedical research. Previously fine-tuned ViT foundation models for disease risk classification, designed automated registration for tracking subsolid nodules in lung imaging across CT scans over time

Analyst Developer Intern (High School)

Boeing

Developed Python implementations and technical explanations of classical time-series forecasting methods for a 27,000-word introductory forecasting text under the mentorship of senior analyst developer.

Advised Independent Research

GLEAN: Generative Learning for Eliminating Adversarial Noise

Trained a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) backed with a Fast Fourier Convolutional Neural Network (repurpoused from image-to-image super-resolution upscaling tasks) for removing adversarial perturbations from artwork images
