About Me

I am a Computer Science major with a minor in Statistics at Auburn University, where I will graduate in Spring 2026. I have experience with Python, PyTorch, SQL, JavaScript, HTML/CSS and more.

I am currently seeking internship opportunities for Summer 2026 before attending graduate school for my Master's degree.

Papers

[ACCV 2024 Oral]
Vision Language Models are Blind

This paper shows the limitations of VLMs, such as GPT-4o, in extremely simple, abstract vision tasks. Despite their high scores on multimodal benchmarks, these models often fail on very basic cases.

This research has been featured by OpenAI, TechCrunch, and Ars Technica.

[CVPR 2025 Workshop]
Understanding Generative AI Capabilities in Everyday Image Editing Tasks

Native multi-modal image-editing models like GPT-4o and Gemini have shown an impressive ability to edit images through natural language prompts. This paper examines the strengths and weaknesses of these models when pitted against one-to-one matchups against human editors.

[Arxiv Preprint]
HoT: Highlighted Chain of Thought for Referencing Supporting Facts from Inputs

This paper explores how allowing LLMs to highlight their chain of thought to visually link information in the question and answer can increase LLM accuracy while also improving user experience.

AI/ML Experience

AI Undergraduate Researcher

Explainable AI Lab - Auburn University

I am an Undergraduate Researcher in Dr. Anh Nguyen's Explainable AI lab. Since joining in July 2024, I have co-authored three different papers on understanding the strengths and weaknesses of multimodal LLMs/image-editing models and improving the reliability and interpretability of LLMs.

This work has led to me becoming an Auburn Undergraduate Research Fellow and receiving an honorable mention for the Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Award from the Computing Research Association.

Machine Learning Intern

Corvid Technologies

Summer 2025 intern at the defense contractor Corvid Technologies. I worked on applying deep learning to develop more sophisticated methods to predict how 3D objects affect radar response signals.

Biomechanics Deep Learning Lab Assistant

Sport Biomechanics Lab - Auburn University

I have worked as a lab assistant at the Auburn Sport Biomechanics lab since Fall 2024. I have helped advise and develop a cross-disciplinary project that utilizes skeletal pose estimation models to study how different movements can affect the long-term health of canines.

Projects

Wordle GRPO Agent

Finetuned an open-source LLM and trained with reinforcement learning to improve the model from only being able to complete 0.1% of Wordle games to successfully completing 18% of games.
