About

I am a Ph.D. student in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University where I am fortunate to be advised by Zachary Lipton and Rachel Leah Childers. My research broadly focuses on causal inference, sequential decision-making, and reasoning in large language models. Prior to graduate school, I worked as a software engineer at Google. I did my undergraduate studies in Computer Science at NTU, Singapore.
