I'm a final year computer science PhD student advised by Chelsea Finn and Jiajun Wu. Much of my PhD has been generously supported by a Sequoia Capital Stanford Graduate Fellowship in Science & Engineering and an NSERC Postgraduate Scholarship – Doctoral. I'm a bilingual Taiwanese-Canadian.
My recent research comprises two themes: (i) tooling and inductive biases for robot learning in the age of foundation models, and (ii) disentangled representation learning of high-dimensional data for interpretability and safety. I'm seeking full-time AI research and engineering roles related to these topics with a start date in Q2–Q3 2025.
Previously, I studied engineering science at the University of Toronto. This summer, I'm working on foundation models for robotics at Toyota Research Institute. In my free time, I like to ski & snowboard and play Soulslike & board games.
