I am a PhD student at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at USC working with Prof. Murali Annavaram. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from UC Santa Barbara and my Master’s degree from USC.

My research interests are centered around efficient LLM fine-tuning and inference, cross-device federated learning systems, and responsible AI. Here is a copy of my CV.
