Hi! I am a PhD student (2023 - ?) in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, advised by Prof. Ranjay Krishna and Prof. Dan Weld, and supported by the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship and Two Sigma PhD Fellowship. I build open multimodal models (Molmo2, MolmoPoint), agents that act on the web and with tools (MolmoWeb, LATTE), and benchmarks of what these systems can and can't do (Task Me Anything, CREPE). Currently, I'm especially interested in real-time, interactive multimodal models and agents. Before UW, I received my B.S. (Honors) and M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Fei-Fei Li and Prof. Michael Bernstein. Outside of research, you can find me 🍳 🎾 💃 🎤 🎟️ 🍵
Collaborations & talks. I'm always happy to collaborate on, or just chat about, multimodal agents for digital and physical worlds and human-agent interaction, and to give talks about my work. Feel free to reach out!
Prospective students. I'm looking for self-motivated, curious, and technically strong undergrad or master's students who can commit consistent time to research (ideally freshmen or sophomores, and/or students determined to pursue a PhD). Emails that stand out concisely describe your relevant interests and background, attach your resume, and show a sharp understanding of, or a unique perspective on, my work or related work.
