Hi there, I am a Master’s student in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Prof. Ashutosh Dutta. Currently, I am a research intern at the University of Maryland, College Park, working with Prof. Tianyi Zhou. My research interests center on efficient foundation models, with a specific focus on Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) and Test-Time Adaptation. My work aims to improve model’s generalization and efficiency.
