Hi! I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Univeristy of British Columbia (UBC) and the Vector Institute for AI advised by Vered Shwartz and Raymond NG in the Natural Language Processing group. I frequently collaborate with Leonid Sigal in the Computer Vision group.

My research focuces on evaluating and improving reasoning abilities of Vision and Language Models (VLMs). Currently, I am investigating how models update their hypotheses when they encounter surprising events in video streams.

During my PhD, I have had the opportunity to intern at FAIR (Meta AI) & Microsoft Research in Summer 2024 and Meta Reality labs in Summer 2023.
