I am a second-year Computer Science PhD student at UCLA, advised by Professor Bolei Zhou and Professor Jiaqi Ma.

Previously, I received my M.S. and B.A. in Computer Science at UC Berkeley where I was fortunate to work with Professor Masayoshi Tomizuka, Professor Allen Yang, and Professor Constance Chang-Hasnain.

My research interest focuses on Cooperative Intelligence, Transportation and Mobility, and Autonomous Driving.
