Research   I’m a PhD candidate at Caltech advised by Professor Yisong Yue. My work focuses on machine learning methods for agentic behavior, including humanlike gameplay in video games and large language model agents for scientific programming.

I am a National Science Foundation Graduate Research (NSF GRFP) Fellow and a Chen Graduate Fellow. I was a Research Intern at Epic Games, advised by Iain Matthews, where I worked on machine learning for video games.

Previous   I graduated from Cornell University where I studied neuroscience and behavior. My thesis work with Professor Jesse Goldberg was awarded the Robert R. Capranica Award for the outstanding honors thesis in neuroethology. I then worked with Professor Evan Feinberg at UCSF on sensorimotor computation and Professor Doris Tsao on models for object perception in the brain.
