I study CS and math at Caltech. I'm broadly interested in the frontier of language and world models, and how we can build more personalized AI through memory and continual learning.

Researched multi-agent AI systems to personalize health & wellbeing @ Columbia SEA Lab. Co-authored MindfulAgents and received Honorable Mention (top 5% of papers) @ ACM CHI 2026.

High school researcher @ UCI CORSA and ZhangLab. Worked on hardware accelerator design optimization using graph-RAG and bioinformatics algorithms research.
