Background
  • Research Interests: At the intersection of Cognitive Science and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Studies how humans acquire and process language by combining linguistic and cognitive theory, computational modeling, and behavioral and neuroimaging studies. Also examines how natural language processing in machines can be brought closer to human linguistic abilities by utilizing insights and data from human language processing.
