I am a final year CS PhD candidate at the National University of Singapore and Salesforce Research, supervised by Assoc Prof Kan Min-Yen and Asst Prof Shafiq Joty. I’m extremely fortunate to be supported by Singapore’s Economic Development Board and Salesforce under the Industrial Postgraduate Programme, and split my time between the Web IR / NLP Group at NUS and Salesforce Research.

My research interests include linguistic variation, adversarial robustness, and methods for ethical AI development (both technical and policy); but I’ve also been fascinated by the puzzle of cognition for the longest time. I’m also chairing the Tokenization Working Group in the BigScience project with Benoît Sagot from Inria.
