About
Hi! I am a research scientist working at Meta. I work on foundation model training, model scaling, and user modeling. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCLA, advised by Professor Yizhou Sun and Professor Wei Wang. My research interests include foundation models, multimodal learning, efficient architectures, and reinforcement learning. If you are also interested, feel free to reach out!
