Bio

I am a scientist at Amazon Alexa. Prior to joining Amazon, I earned my PhD degree in Computer Science at UC San Diego, advised by Professor Rajesh Gupta and Professor Jingbo Shang.

My current research interest includes LLM agents, agent system evaluation and agent security. I also have a strong background in the area of ML+IoT, including wearable sensors, wireless sensing signals, motion signals and building sensors.
