About

I’m a CS PhD candidate at Brown advised by Professor Ellie Pavlick. I am interested in building more interpretable and controllable multimodal foundation models, providing intuitive methods to empower human creative expression.

I completed my BS and MEng in CS at MIT, where I worked with Professor Josh Tenenbaum on reasoning, creativity, and planning in LLMs and Professor Antonio Torralba on building multimodal benchmarks for embodied agents.

Recently, I’ve worked at Adobe Research on creating models that better understand paralinguistics (prosody, emotion) in speech. Previously, I held software, product, and research roles at Microsoft, IBM, and several startups.
