I’m a PhD student at UCLA advised by Prof. Vwani Roychowdhury. I’m broadly interested in language modeling and information retrieval. My current focus is on building better information representation systems for LLMs (memory systems) to enable more dynamic, adaptable representations. I’m also interested in applying advances in language modeling to problems in the sciences and in health.
We introduce GSW, which equips LLMs with human-like episodic memory through structured semantic representations that track actors, roles, and states across space and time, outperforming standard RAG frameworks on episodic memory tasks.

We introduce DNARDE, a DNA language model trained with a contrastive objective for sequence alignment, pairing it with vector-store retrieval over nucleotide sequences. DNARDE outperforms prior transformer baselines on alignment and transfers across chromosomes and species.

We develop a framework using open-source LLMs to standardize opioid use disorder prescriptions from diverse EHRs, enabling consistent analysis across different EHR sources and formats.
