About Me

I am currently a Machine Learning Research Scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. I received my Ph.D. degree at the University of California, Berkeley, where I was a member of the Mechanical Systems Control Lab and I was advised by Prof. Masayoshi Tomizuka.

My interests encompass the application of AI in scientific domains, particularly at the intersection of physics simulation and machine learning. I am focused on enhancing machine learning capabilities, such as improving generalization under various conditions, and developing accurate surrogate models that leverage High-Performance Computing (HPC).

I have served as PI and Co-PI in several Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) funded by the Department of Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO). These collaborations involve working with energy-intensive industries with the aim of minimizing energy consumption. Our team is actively seeking research collaborations. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested.
