I am a 5th Year Master’s in Machine Learning Student at Carnegie Mellon University. I am broadly interested in common-sense reasoning in multimodal agents, particularly within applications of memory and visual grounding. My research interests also include the intersection of reinforcement learning and LLMs.
At CMU, I have been grateful to collaborate with Prof. Ruslan Salakhutdinov, Prof. Daniel Fried, and Prof. Katerina Fragkiadaki. I also completed my undergraduate degree from CMU in Statistics and Machine Learning. I have done internships at Microsoft Research, the Chicago Cubs, and the MLB Commissioner’s Office.
I am passionate about teaching and have been involved with many course offerings at CMU as a teaching assistant, including 10-703 Deep Reinforcement Learning, 10-708 Probabilistic Graphical Models, 11-777 Multimodal Machine Learning, 36-401 Modern Regression, and 36-402 Advanced Data Analysis. I was also the 2024 Statistics Department TA of the Year and 2024 Machine Learning Department TA of the Year.
In my free time, I like to play basketball, cook Korean food, and travel. Feel free to reach out through email about anything!
