I’m a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Virginia, advised by Sebastian Elbaum in the LESS Lab.
I develop testing and runtime monitoring methods for AI-enabled autonomous systems, currently autonomous driving models, using their reasoning and behavior to identify failures and assess safety.
Previously, I studied Computer Science at the University of Washington and worked with Michael D. Ernst on program analysis for automated test generation.
Started my PhD in Computer Science at UVA, advised by Sebastian Elbaum.
Graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in Computer Science.
Manuscript under review, 2026
Can a driving model’s reasoning tell us what it should do next? We study whether vision-language-action (VLA) models’ reasoning can serve as a specification for monitoring their planned trajectories.
B.S. in Computer Science
