Ph.D. student, Computer Science, 2022-

Bio: I am a second year Ph.D. student advised by Prof. Andrew McCallum at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. My broad research interest is in machine learning for natural language processing and its application in tasks that require complex, multi-step reasoning. Currently, my ongoing projects focus on zero-shot reasoning with LLMs, developing a better understanding of ICL and its various idiosyncracies, retrieval augmentation (and the framework of case-based reasoning), and compositional generalization. In terms of applications, I am very interested in developing NLP methods to help accelerate scientific discovery in fields such as biomedicine.
