About me

I am a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research New England, based in Cambridge, MA. I work on generative AI models (diffusion and flow models, language models) and related topics at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and AI for science. My works include Adjoint Matching, a reward fine-tuning framework for flow models that has been extended to chemistry and robotics, and Energy-Based Fine-Tuning (EBFT), a language model fine-tuning algorithm that relies on matching feature moments, outperforming SFT in perplexity and downstream performance while matching RLVR in downstream performance.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from NYU, where I was advised by Joan Bruna.
During my PhD, I was a Visiting Researcher at Meta FAIR Labs for two years, and prior to that, I interned at Microsoft Research and IBM Research. I obtained a B.S. in Mathematics and a B.S. in Engineering Physics from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC).

My email address is cd2754 (at) nyu (dot) edu.
