I am an AI Scientist at GE Healthcare. I was a postdoc in Computer Science at Harvard University, advised by Prof. Milind Tambe. I completed my Ph.D. in Operations Research at Columbia University, advised by Prof. Adam Elmachtoub. I received my B.S. / M.S. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from Johns Hopkins University.

I mainly work on (i) LLMs and foundation models (ii) reinforcement learning (iii) the intersection of optimization and machine learning.
