I am a third-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.
