As of December 4th 2023

Graduate School:

UCLA Master’s of Applied Statistics Program
After an amazing two years in UCLA’s statistics department, I graduated with a Master’s degree in Applied Statistics, achieving a 4.0 GPA and completing a thesis on multimodal domain adaptation.

I am keen on returning as PhD student and currently in the midst of the application cycle!

Professional Life:

Tixr

Since May 2023, I have been employed as an Applied Scientist at a startup named Tixr. My experience here has been exhilarating, fueled by an exciting work culture that encourages innovation and collaboration. The proximity to the beach, Hollywood and LA in general has made it all the more enjoyable!

My current research delves into statistically identifying hallucinations in AI-generated outputs, addressing their origin, adversarial invocations, and methods for human-aligned and robust model outputs. Projects include customer report generation, client-facing chatbots, and generative AI marketing assistants, with a major focus on privacy, particularly concerning sensitive information shared with large language models (LLMs) for generation, encompassing financial and other domains.

Amazon

Despite a successful and educational internship experience at Amazon Devices in the summer of 2022, my return offer was rescinded amid layoffs. As a keen admirer of Amazon’s work culture, I aspire to revisit the company in the future, contributing as an applied scientist tackling vision and language challenges.

Personal Life:

A huge fan of the great outdoors, I had my heart set on a move to Seattle to join Amazon post graduation. However recent personal experiences have made me further realize my goal of pursuing a PhD. On that note I am happy to continue in Santa Monica as I make my way through PhD applications and continue growing as a scientist at Tixr!

Recently I’ve been very interested in outdoor survival camping. I draw inspiration from The Outdoor Boys Youtube channel. Really excited to attempt some winter survival camping trips over the next few months!

I was over the moon to get to visit Glacier National Park earlier this summer. Check out my blog page for a post coming very soon!
