Hello! I am a PhD student at the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Carolyn Rosé.
My research focuses on aligning AI systems to work better for and with humans. I study methods that help models learn from feedback, adapt to changing user and task contexts, and coordinate effectively in interactive settings. My work spans AI for code, STEM education, human-AI collaboration, and AI-assisted scientific research.
Previously, I was a pre-doctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS), advised by Prof. Adish Singla, where I worked on human-feedback-driven alignment of language models for personalization and programming feedback.
