I am a second-year Ph.D. student at 🍌UC Santa Cruz, advised by Prof. Vaggos Chatziafratis.

I am broadly interested in representation learning, both its theoretical foundations and its practice, with a current focus on contrastive learning, embedding models, and language models.

Earlier in my PhD, I also worked on theoretical computer science, mainly constraint satisfaction problems.
