Hi there! I'm a student at Stanford University studying computer science (BS + MS) and music (minor). I'm a pianist, organist, and violinist — see some of my performances here.
My expertise lies in artificial intelligence and generative AI: particularly, chatbots and medical AI. In the past, I led a team of five Harvard, Yale, and MIT researchers to evaluate reasoning in LLMs. My work on reducing hallucinations in medical LLMs has been cited by Google Research and Google Deepmind. Previously, I was a member of Stanford’s dialogue team for Amazon’s Alexa Prize, which won first place for scientific research (a $250k prize). I've also co-developed an intelligent chatbot to help people with autism improve their social skills, which is currently under trial at the Stanford Med School. In high school, I was named a Regeneron STS Scholar for my research on building AI models to detect signs of autism in child speech.
I currently serve as the co-president of Stanford ACM, the predominant CS club on campus. I also section lead for CS 106A (Python) and 106B (C++), Stanford's largest CS courses.
In my spare time, I love playing board games (personal favorite: Agricola) and competitive Geoguessr — at my peak, I was rated in the top 500 in the world. I'm an avid fan of the color green.
