Profile introduction
Source excerptLinkedIn [2]

AI is moving beyond generating answers toward operating in complex, real-world environments. My research focuses on the methods, models, and evaluations needed to make that transition possible. That journey has taken me from a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley, to postdoctoral research at Harvard and MIT, and now to Cornell Tech. Along the way, my work has evolved from causal inference, reinforcement learning, and distribution compression to the training, evaluation, and deployment of large language models and AI agents—with a consistent focus on making intelli…
