I'm open for research and engineering opportunities in AI from August 2026 onwards within the U.S., Canada, UK, or France. My interests lie in LLMs interpretability, and I want to focus more on representation learning methods like JEPA, world models, and general training/alignment work. I'm also open for roles in Data Science and AI/ML engineering.
- I will be continuing my work at Minnesota NLP through the summer of 2026, working on LLM/Agent evaluations, interpretability, and alignment, including a joint project with Thompson Reuters!
- I graduated with high distinction and a 3.97 GPA from the University of Minnesota with a bachelors of science in Computer Science.
- My position paper, Who You Test Matters: Difficulty Alignment in LLM Benchmark Analysis was accepted at ACL 2026 workshop, EvalEval! Preprint to be public soon.
