About Me

Hi there! I’m a 3rd year undergraduate student studying Computer Science at Stony Brook University. Along my undergraduate time, I’m very fortunate to be advised by Professor Paola Cascante-Bonilla at SPEL Lab, Professor Jorge-Mendez Mendez in the Learning & Intelligence Lab, and Professor Yi Liu in the AI Research for Science (AIRS) Lab.

I plan to pursue a Ph.D in Computer Science and continue AI research.

Miscellaneous

Outside of research, I’m quite involved on campus as a College of Engineering and Applied Sciences Peer Mentor where I mentor 3 first-year students each year to help them adjust to college life and “figure out what to do their college lives”.
I am also a Resident Assistant (RA but not that research RA) at H Community where 1,300+ first-year students live in. I host large events like Halloween Celebration called Werewolfie, Lunar New Year Celebration, Friendsgiving … that gained over 600 attendees with over $2k budget went into planning. My goal is to make college dorms home to students, and it’s a truly enjoyable and collaborative experience!
