Hi there! I am a CS Ph.D. student in the Laboratory for Machine Learning, Health and Biomedicine, where I am advised by Prof. Ruishan Liu. My research interests include post-training and evaluation of large language models for mental health, clinical NLP, and machine learning for healthcare.

Before my PhD studies, I was a Research Assistant at JHU Center of Language and Speech Processing, where I worked on fine-tuning and evaluation of clinical language models, under the supervision of Prof. Mark Dredze.

I received my M.S. in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University and B.S.E. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
