About

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and a member of AI Plus Institute at the State University of New York at Albany. My research spans analytical and computational methods for signal processing and machine learning.

I am currently focused on developing post-training algorithms for modern AI models, particularly large language models. My research is partially supported by National Science Foundation, SUNY-IBM AI Research Alliance, and the Center for Emerging Artificial Intelligence Systems (CEAIS).
