Research
I work on making long-context language models cheaper to run: figuring out where they need to look and what they can skip. That means working on the ideas as well as the code that makes them practical.
I’ve also mentored undergraduate teams studying how language and image models handle different languages and cultures.
Building
I built and run the lab’s GPU cluster, including keeping the queue fair in the week before a deadline. At home, a smaller rack runs my own cloud: notes, photos, audiobooks, and home automation. I enjoy getting the pieces to work together.
Outside work
I ride a motorbike, do calisthenics, take photos, and read. My books tend to be philosophy, anthropology, and old novels. I keep some of my favorite passages on the Bookshelf.
