I graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (Honors) and a Minor in Public Policy, in 2.5 years. Super grateful to GovTech Singapore for awarding me the full-ride merit-based Smart Nation Scholarship for the entirety of my studies.
I'm grateful to Dr. Ritwik Gupta and Dr. Cam Allen for their mentorship throughout my undergraduate research career at BAIR and CHAI.
I was a research fellow at OpenAI in Fall 2025. The program is called Launchpad, and that semester is its inaugural semester. Participation, at least for my batch, is invite-only.
I've published workshop papers at NeurIPS and ICML, and contributed to a chapter in a soon-to-be-published technical AI safety book. You can find my papers on my Google Scholar.
I'm a history buff. Currently reading Founding Partisans by Dr. H. W. Brands and The Hamilton Scheme by William Hogeland. Enjoyer (discerningly, of course) of pop culture like Broadway's Hamilton, Broadway's 1776, HBO's John Adams, and CBS's George Washington (yeah you guessed it, I'm really into the American Revolution / Early Republic right now). My favorite historical figure is Alexander Hamilton.
I'm a guilty perpetuator of the CS nerd stereotype of liking climbing. I'm on V4 walls now (though admittedly, difficulty varies per gym). I also play(ed) volleyball, basketball, netball, table tennis, and badminton.
I draw manga! A lot of my inspiration is from DBZ, both art style- and story-wise. Other influences include Naruto and Haikyu.
My favorite, most frequently used app, is Spotify. My current project is Godzilla by Eminem. And clipping. is underrated.
