Research
My research is dedicated to advancing human-centered machines that enhance human abilities to perceive, understand, and interact with the world. To achieve this, I study the following topics:
Theory & Systems: Causal Inference, Probabilistic Modeling, TinyML Systems, Human-in-the-Loop Systems
Human-centered AI: AI for Healthcare, General-purpose AI Assistants, Interactive Machine Perception
Foundation Models: Efficient Sequence Modeling, Unified Multimodal Models, Human Alignment & Interaction
Some of my first-authored papers are listed below:
