I am a first-year doctoral student in the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University where I am advised by Yonatan Bisk and Emma Strubell.
My research interests are primarily in machine learning and natural language processing. My goal is to build practical and robust systems capable of understanding, reasoning, and interacting with the real world via natural language.
Previously, I received my B.S. in Computer Science and B.S. in Electrical Engineering at Northwestern University where I worked with Doug Downey and Thrasos Pappas. I’ve also spent time as a Software Engineer at Google.
Outside of research, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, listening to a wide variety of music, trying new restaurants and playing games.
