Researching NLP, Vision-Language Models & Information Retrieval
I am an undergraduate student in Computer Engineering with an Option in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Waterloo, maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA. My research interests lie at the intersection of Natural Language Processing, Vision-Language Models, and Information Retrieval.
I have had the privilege of working with Prof. Renee Sieber (McGill University), Prof. Wenhu Chen (University of Waterloo), and Prof. En-Hui Yang (University of Waterloo) on projects spanning benchmark construction, retrieval-augmented generation, and adversarial robustness.
I am actively seeking Master's and research positions where I can deepen my contributions to NLP and multimodal AI research.

The first benchmark combining NLP and meteorology for LLMs' understanding of historical disruptive weather impacts. Benchmarked 12 LLMs on multi-label classification and ranking-based QA tasks across 1.7K annotated samples.
A benchmark to assess retriever accuracy, climate adaptation, and generation quality for improving LLM reliability in domain-specific tasks.
