I am a Research Scientist at Apple AI/ML, working on multimodal learning for Apple Foundation Models. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at UCLA, advised by Prof. Nanyun (Violet) Peng, focusing on multimodal learning. During my Ph.D., I received the Amazon PhD Fellowship and the JPMC PhD Fellowship. I earned my M.S. at Carnegie Mellon University under Prof. Graham Neubig, specializing in NLP, and my B.S. from the KYM Honors School at Nanjing University.
