Hello! I am a BS/MS student at the University of Washington studying computer science and biochemistry. I currently work on medical multimodal reasoning, large-scale data curation, and benchmarking with Wisdom Ikezogwo under Prof. Linda Shapiro and Prof. Ranjay Krishna. I also work on applications of medical AI under Dr. Jay Pal.

My research interests include:

  • Large-scale multimodal dataset curation
  • Multimodal reasoning

I am involved in an international medical effort in Nepal led by Dr. Jay Pal under UW’s Department of Global Health. I also volunteer in community health at the Asia Pacific Cultural Center.

In my free time, I enjoy water polo and reading.
