I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at University of Wisconsin–Madison, advised by Fred Sala in the Sprocket Lab, where I develop methods for efficient foundation model training and adaptation.
I have completed research internships at Meta’s Llama team (working on scaling laws with Dieuwke Hupkes), Together AI (hybrid language models with Tri Dao), and Microsoft Research (Physics of AGI group with Sébastien Bubeck). I received an honorable mention for the Jane Street Graduate Research Fellowship (2025) and was named an MLCommons Rising Star (2023).
My academic path began at Fresno City College before earning my B.S. at UC San Diego (working with Sanjoy Dasgupta and Gary Cottrell) and M.S. at Carnegie Mellon University (working with Ameet Talwalkar and Zack Lipton).
