About

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. My research focuses on Trustworthy AI, with an emphasis on improving the reliability, factuality, fairness, and uncertainty awareness of multimodal foundation models and other modern AI systems. I develop lightweight and efficient post-hoc and inference-time methods that improve model behavior without requiring costly full-scale retraining.

I am on the 2026–2027 academic job market and am seeking tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and related areas in AI and machine learning. I am available to begin in January or August 2027.

Beyond methodological research, I apply machine learning to real-world problems across scientific, engineering, healthcare, and industrial domains. My applied work includes generative AI for engineering design, machine learning with medical and healthcare data, industrial machine perception, intelligent agents for consumer electronics, and remote sensing. These projects reflect my broader goal of connecting methodological advances in AI with practical impact across diverse application domains.
