About Me
I am the co-Founder and COO at MatrAIx, building a new evaluation paradigm for AI agents.
Previously, I was a Researcher at Microsoft and Postdoctoral Researcher at MIT EECS Healthy ML Group. I received my Ph.D. from Cornell University (2022-25) and was an IvyPlus Exchange Scholar at MIT (2024-25). I interned at Google Research (2025), Scale AI (2025), and Mayo Clinic (2024). I hold Computer Science degrees from Rutgers University (B.A., 2017-20) and Tufts University (M.S., 2020-22).
Learn more about me? 👀 Okay, that's enough about me 🙈
I founded a (semi-successful) AI for medication management company (Hug Medical) in 2022.
My old personal website has some interesting posts. Stop using it from Aug 2022.
Presently, I am based in beautiful Mountain View, CA. In my spare time, I love to do many outdoor activities, such as ice hockey, squash, and water skiing. My name means "happy walking is good", and the pronunciation is "You-Sing." I am a tea aficionado and drink pre-rain dragon well tea everyday.
