I am a fourth-year CS Ph.D. student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Prof. AnHai Doan.
My research interests lie in the intersection of data management and machine learning.
I am currently working on building efficient data management system using Large Language Models.
Before 2023 Fall, I worked with Prof. Kirthevasan Kandasamy on Active Learning and Multi-armed Bandits.
I obtained my Bachelor's degree with honors in Data Science and Analytics from National University of Singapore in 2020.
In 2020-2021, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Vincent Y. F. Tan on Machine Learning with a focus on Nonnegative Matrix Factorization.
