I am a research scientist at Google DeepMind. Before that, I was a member of technical staff at Character.AI. Previously, I was a postdoc scholar at the University of Washington, working with Yejin Choi and Zaid Harchaoui. I received my PhD from MIT, advised by Regina Barzilay and Tommi Jaakkola. I did my undergrad at Tsinghua University, where I was a member of the Yao Class.

I have broad interests in artificial intelligence, natural language processing, machine learning, and deep learning. My goal is to develop increasingly intelligent models by scaling inference-time search and iteratively learning from successful reasoning chains.
