Hi! I’m a senior pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science at New York University Shanghai and New York University. I have been fortunate to work with Prof. Hongyi Wen and Prof. Shengjie Wang on two research directions: personalization of diffusion models via image-LoRA alignment in latent-space and machine unlearning for mitigating undesirable data influence in LLM.

Currently, I am a Visiting Student Researcher at the Stanford Computational Imaging Lab, advised by Prof. Gordon Wetzstein, where I work on video world models. Broadly, my interests lie in controllability and personalization in generative models.

Outside of research, I am a classically trained flutist and enjoy badminton and scuba diving.
