About Me
I graduated with the Honours Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto with Computer Science Specialist and Math Minor. I was supervised by Gerald Penn and Roger Grosse during my undergrad.
When I graduated, I won Rose Sheinin Award and St.Michael College Gold Medals. I Nominated by the Governor General’s Silver Medals. Here are the links: link, link.
Now I am last year PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science at University of Toronto, supervised by Gerald Penn. I am actively exploring postdoctoral and assistant professor opportunities in NLP/LLM.
Research and Interests
Language Modelling, Grammars, AI system optimizing, Math.
