I received my M.S. in ECE from the Georgia Institute of Technology. My research broadly explores AI agents and autonomous systems, with a particular interest in building agents that can operate, learn, and collaborate over extended periods of time. My previous research spans multimodal large language models and multimodal understanding, including work on emotion recognition and reasoning.
My current research interests include:
- General-Purpose & Long-Horizon AI Agents
- Persistent Memory, State, and Continual Adaptation
- Agent–Harness Co-evolution & Agentic Systems
- Multi-Agent Collaboration & Human–Agent Interaction
I am also an open-source builder. I created Understand Anything 
I am currently looking for PhD opportunities in AI agents, autonomous systems, and related areas. If our research interests overlap, I would be very happy to connect and discuss potential research opportunities.
