I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Dr. Ben Van Durme. I am broadly interested in natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision, especially towards advancing end-to-end AI assisted report wrtining using multimodal content. I am supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

My research focuses mainly on the intersection of videos and language, where I work to improve how models find, understand, ground, and generate information. My current directions fall in 3 main categories all centered around AI-assisted report wrtining using multimodal content:

Before Johns Hopkins, I got my B.S. from the University of Rochester advised by Dr. Jiebo Luo and Dr. Aaron Steven White.
