about
I'm a PhD student in computer science at Harvard. I am advised by Sasha Rush and am a member of the Natural Language Processing group. I am fortunate to have received a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
During my undergrad at NYU, I was a member of the Machine Learning for Language Lab (ML²) at CILVR, and was advised by Sam Bowman and Yann LeCun.
