I am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at UCLA. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Saadia Gabriel.

My research focuses on post-training data recipes and training paradigms for improving the reasoning capabilities, alignment and safety of LLMs. I am currently exploring recipes to develop general-purpose reasoning models and coding agents.

I actively collaborate with other UCLA faculty, including Prof. Nanyun Peng, Prof. Kai-Wei Chang, Prof. Aditya Grover. Additionally, I work with datacomp on open-source data curation (Prof. Ludwig Schimdt & Prof. Alex Dimakis).
