I am a research associate at McGovern Institute and MIT BCS, supervised by Jim DiCarlo. During my undergraduate, my research journey took root at MIT CSAIL, where I still involve as a frequent collaborator. At CSAIL, I was fortunate to be supervised by Phillip Isola, Yoon Kim, and Aleksander Mądry.

With a broad research goal of understanding AI, I ground my works at the intersection of computer vision and neuro/cognitive science. Currently, my projects are focused on quantifying behavioral similarities and disparities between vision models and human behavior (1, 2). I am also interested in other topics like multimodality/representation learning, and generative modeling.
