I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Washington advised by Prof. Tim Althoff. I graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in Mathematics and Cornell University with a M.Eng. in Computer Science. Between undergrad and grad school, I worked as a quantitative analyst in the financial industry.
<aside> 🌱 What’s NEW
Our paper won an Outstanding Paper Award at ACL 2023: Cognitive Reframing of Negative Thoughts through Human-Language Model Interaction. Link to paper.
I gave a talk Human-Center NLP for Mental Health at the NLP for Social Good Symposium organized at the University of Liverpool.
</aside>
I am broadly interested in human-centered NLP (alignment, applications, biases) and human-AI collaboration. I am particularly interested in developing AI agents to help people complete a variety of tasks and develop personal skills. My past projects focused on many psychology and social applications.

In my free time, I enjoy looking at magnificent architecture and interior design, learning new languages and music instruments, and ((very) casually) playing any sports that involve human interactions.
