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.
