Hello! I am a PhD student at Stanford, where I am grateful to be advised by Percy Liang and Gregory Valiant. My research is in natural language processing, machine learning, and theory. Recently, I've been thinking about inference-time algorithms for language model sampling and search.

Before Stanford, I was an undergrad at UC Berkeley, where I was lucky to be advised by Dan Klein, Kannan Ramchandran, and Chunlei Liu.
