About
I am a post-doctoral researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology , having received my Ph.D in linguistics in 2020 from Cornell University. My main research interests involve computational models of linguistic structures, especially minimally supervised, linguistically-motivated models of syntactic, semantics, and pragmatics. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, reading, creative writing, drawing, game design, and playing with my cat, Freya.
