I am a fourth-year PhD student at UNC, Chapel Hill. I currently work in the MURGe-Lab, and am advised by Mohit Bansal. My research interests are in the areas of Deep Learning, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision. Recently, I am particularly interested in multi-modal learning and efficient fine-tuning, where my goal is to train large models with limited resources and deploy them to benefit human's daily life. Before joining MURGe-Lab, I also worked with Colin Raffel and Marc Niethammer.
I also spent time working as a research scientist intern in tech company in summers. In 2023 summer, I interned at Meta with Abhimanyu Dubey, Filip Radenovic and Abhishek Kadian on text-to-image generation. In 2022 summer, I worked at Microsoft with Linjie Li, Kevin Lin and Zhe Gan on VL model merging.
