My passions lie at the intersection of AI, systems and their applications in science and beyond. Throughout my academic and industry journey, I have engaged with various tiers of the technology landscape and acquired hands-on experience in data science, core systems, advanced cloud infrastructures, and a diverse range of AI applications. The research topics I am interested in include:

  • Next-gen agent infrastructures: I build ML, data, and cloud systems to enpower AI agents.

  • Agentic knowledge engineering: I am building an agentic knowledge base to harvest, verify, audit and evolve domain knowledge.

  • Auto research & loop applications: Topics include efficient systems, observability, trustworthy decision making, and human-in-the-loop in finance, scientific discovery and other applications.

Before joining NUS, I was a researcher at Microsoft Research Redmond for about 10 years (intern > contractor > full time). I received PhD from the University of Washington in 2018
