About me
I am a Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at Rochester Institute of Technology, advised by Dr. Rui Li. My research focuses on continual learning, parameter-efficient adaptation, and continual user modeling. Previously, I was a Research Scientist Intern at Zillow Group and a Machine Learning Engineer at Fusemachines.
