About Me
I'm a second-year PhD student at the GLAMOR Lab in the Thomas Lord Computer Science Department at the University of Southern California. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Jesse Thomason.
My research interests span Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs), multimodal learning, interpretability. I am particularly interested in how VLMs perceive and reason in real-world 3D environments, and in developing interpretability methods to uncover the mechanisms behind why certain VLMs exhibit stronger spatial reasoning abilities, as well as why others struggle with specific spatial tasks. I'm also interested in how Multimodal Large Language Models integrate diverse modalities to form coherent representations that support complex reasoning.
