Welcome! I am a upcoming AI/Robot Intelligence research intern at Samsung Research America and a first-year MSCS Student at USC where I'm currently advised by Johnny Tian-Zheng Wei and Dr. Robin Jia. My interests are Contiual Learning and Memorization, specifally how LLMs/VLMs/MLLMs can adaptivly interact with various enviorments (both physical and virtual). I have previous experiences in autonmous driving research and edge ML engineering. I was grateful to be advised by Dr. Hang Qiu and Dr. Vagelis Papalexakis during my undergraduate studies at the University of California, Riverside (UCR).
