Hi! I am a PhD Student at UC San Diego. Previously, I did my undergrad at UC Berkeley in Computer Science and was advised by Sergey Levine.

Currently, I am excited about:

• Human-language agent interaction I am excited about agents that learn through interaction to collaborate with humans, by being honest and helpful.
• Codebase Understaning agents that can understand complex codebases and solve bugs
• Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning agents that can learn from multi-turn interactions with humans and other agents
• Multi-agent Systems Creating models that can work efficiently with other agents to achieve comoplex objectives.

Research & Projects

Created benchmarks to test the capabilities of multi-turn RL algorithms in language.

Analyzed the game Codenames to understand how players use language to communicate efficiently across cultures and developed a method to allow players to communicate more efficiently across cultures.

We explore new deep-learning architectures involving transformers and CNNs for classifying ECoG signals as robotic motion. We propose data imputation and a transformer encoder/decoder architecture to correct artifacts.

Trained Deep Reinforcement Learning agents to play Wordle with custom reward functions and exploration algorithms.

Compared fine-tuned multi-lingual and single language LMs for hate speech detection, explained predictions using SHAP values, and mitgated biases.
