I'm an AI researcher at Meta GenAI, working on AI safety.

Previously, I was a researcher at ByteDance Research, working on LLM alignment and trustworthy AI. I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Chicago, advised by Prof. Ben Zhao and Prof. Heather Zheng, specializing in AI safety. Prior to that, I got three B.S. degrees in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Statistics from the University of Minnesota --- Twin Cities. I interned at Google twice and received the Siebel Scholarship.

I sometimes write for myself to help me figure things out and have fun.
