Biography and Research Interests

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by professors Kartik Goyal and Alan Ritter. My current research interest is language model text watermarking and API fingerprinting. Specifically, I investigate text watermarking approaches for constrained generation tasks and for detecting unauthorized knowledge distillation.

Prior to Georgia Tech, I obtained my B.S. and M.S. at Carnegie Mellon University, where I had the pleasure to be advised by professor Matt Gormley and professor Tom Mitchell.
