PhD student at ASU.

I work on long-term memory for language models and on agents that can carry out long, multi-step tasks.

I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Arizona State University, where my research is in natural language processing. Right now I focus on long-term memory and long-horizon agents: how a model decides what to keep in memory and what to let go of, and how to build tool-using agents that stay reliable and follow their instructions across a long sequence of steps, rather than a single answer.

This builds on my earlier work on reasoning over time and understanding events: extracting structured information about events from text, and testing whether language models can really reason about dates, durations, and the order things happen in, rather than repeating what they saw during training.

I'm looking for full-time Research Scientist and Applied Scientist roles, and will graduate in 2027. If this is the kind of problem you care about, I'd be glad to talk.

When I'm not working I'm usually out with a camera, mostly photographing birds. I post the occasional note here too.
