i am an applied scientist at amazon science working on rufus, the next generation llm-based conversational shopping assistant.
i earned my doctoral degree in computer science from the university of utah — the birthplace of computer graphics and the embryo of the current worldwide internet (arpanet). i was fortunate to be mentored by dr. sarang joshi with affiliations to the scientific computing and imaging institute and kahlert school of computing. i also work closely with researchers from fsu, ucla, uva, and yale.
before i joined the u, i received my bachelor degree in computer science from tongji university and have studied at israel institute of technology and institut de mathématiques de toulouse as an exchange student, focusing on image analysis and riemannian geometry, respectively.
currently, i am passionate about developing specialized and trustworthy machine learning tools. my research extends to, but is not limited to: 📄large language models and retrieval-augmented generation; 👨⚖️trustworthy machine learning (fairness and robustness); 👁️vision language and diffusion models; 📐geometric deep learning and shape modeling; and 🔭physics-informed machine learning.

i have served as a reviewer for several journals and conferences, including acm mm, aistats, acm tist, cvpr, aro, iclr, icml, ieee tnnls, media, melba, miccai, midl, neurips, scientific reports, ai for differential equations in science@iclr, and wicv@eccv.
miscellaneous
i made a handful of notes for better understanding in language models, machine learning, mathematics of imaging, metric estimation, image registration, and solving large systems of linear equations.
