Research Experience
  • Worked as a research scientist at Pearson on NLP research; was a researcher at the US Army Research Laboratory; worked as a software engineer at several companies; interned at Apple in May 2024, focusing on detecting cognitive decline from speech.
Education
  • PhD student in Computer Science at The University of Colorado, Boulder, under the supervision of Katharina von der Wense, expected to defend dissertation in April 2025.
Background
  • Research Interests: NLP systems, particularly for underrepresented languages and computational morphology; using unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning methods, and training deep learning models on very sparse datasets. Currently focused on reinforcement learning to align unsupervised training data with particular supervised tasks, and how better tokenization can enable multilingual LMs to perform well for underrepresented languages.
Miscellany
  • Personal Interests: Outdoor activities.
