About
I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Duke University, advised by Prof. Maciej A. Mazurowski. I develop foundation models and agentic AI systems that reason across images and language, use specialized tools, and adapt to complex real-world tasks.
My work spans LLM-agent optimization at Meta, in-context 3D medical image segmentation at Siemens Healthineers, and large-scale multimodal learning at Duke. I previously earned my M.S. in Computer Science at Duke, where I worked with Prof. Guillermo Sapiro, and B.S. degrees in Mathematics–Computer Science and Cognitive Science at UC San Diego, where I worked with Prof. Zhuowen Tu.
I am seeking research scientist, applied scientist, and research engineering positions starting in Summer 2027.
Selected Work
Meta-Harness — LLM agent optimization
Improved Meta-Harness’s algorithm-evolution pipeline by evolving agent trajectories and dynamically adapting training data. Increased performance from 49% to 62% on math-solving tasks and from 68% to 71.3% on Terminal-Bench 2.
In-context 3D segmentation of unseen anatomies
Developed a 3D nnU-Net framework with multi-stage cross-attention that segments new anatomical structures from annotated support examples without retraining. Curated 14,934 CT volumes spanning 92 structures and achieved 52.1% Dice on held-out unseen anatomies, compared with 36.7% for the strongest prior in-context learning baseline. A systematic support-selection study revealed a 21-point Dice performance range. Co-inventor on the resulting patent-pending technology assigned to Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.
MRI-CORE — MRI foundation model
Pretrained a foundation model on 7M MRI slices, improving few-shot downstream segmentation by 5 Dice points over SAM, and extended this direction toward multimodal 3D MRI and radiology-report alignment.
MMedAgent — Multimodal medical agent
Developed a multimodal agent that coordinates specialized medical tools across imaging and language tasks; published in Findings of EMNLP 2024.
Experience
Software Engineering Intern, Meta · May 2026 – Present
Worked on algorithm evolution for LLM agents, making trajectories evolvable and adapting training data to strengthen optimization signals.
AI Research Intern, Siemens Healthineers · June 2025 – August 2025
Developed a 3D in-context segmentation framework for unseen anatomies, built and evaluated on 14,934 CT volumes across 92 structures; the work resulted in patent-pending technology assigned to Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.
