I’m a previous MTS at Cohere, working on foundation models for embeddings and search. I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo, supervised by Professor Jimmy Lin. Before that, I received my M.Sc. in Computer Science from University of Toronto under the supervision of Danijar Hafner and Professor Jimmy Ba. I completed my undergraduate study at Sun Yat-Sen University advised by Professor Weishi Zheng.
