PhD Candidate in Machine Learning at UNSW Sydney, supervised by Prof. Dong Gong.
My research studies how models can learn, remember, and reason reliably under constraints β when data is scarce, when past information can't be stored, and when adaptation must happen without updating model weights. I work across continual learning, data-efficient learning, and self-improving LLM reasoning.
