About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Southern California in Sept Lab.
My work focuses on building secure and reliable AI systems, with an emphasis on LLM verification, GPU/CPU co-execution, and system-level reliability. I enjoy working across the boundary of machine learning and systems, especially when it involves understanding how models run on real hardware and how they fail in subtle, hard-to-detect ways.
Previously, I worked on training-time bug detection at the University of Michigan in OrderLab and on speech-related ML models in CHAI Lab.
Research Interests
- LLM Security & Verification: ensuring trustworthy inference, detecting cheating/incorrect execution, and building lightweight verification layers
- Systems for ML: GPU/TEE co-execution, confidential inference, and performance analysis
- Reliable Machine Learning: silent error detection, robust training, and model debugging
- General ML: representation learning, multimodal workloads, and model behavior analysis
