2025 — Present
Fulbright Scholar
Graduate study August 2025–May 2027, with intent to continue toward a PhD and to contribute to how people work and learn as AI matures.
From industry to research.
While my industry experience has sharpened my ability to solve problems efficiently, research offers the space to explore the 'why' behind every solution. I aim to build intelligent systems that understand the world through a user's worldview, featuring long-term memory, controllability, and safety, especially for the next generation.
Current status
Master of Computing student, University of Utah — Fulbright Scholar; also supported by a University of Utah scholarship.
