Academic Achievements
- Published multiple preprints and journal articles, such as in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, Cognition, etc. Awarded the Cognitive Science Society Prize for Computational Modeling in Language.
Research Experience
- Currently a postdoc in the Social Interaction Lab at Stanford University, working with Robert Hawkins.
Education
- PhD from the University of Chicago, advised by Dan Yurovsky and Susan Goldin-Meadow.
Background
- Research interests include how language selectively describes the world, how parents describe the world to young children, and how children learn from these descriptions. Additionally, she studies how adults make inferences about new categories through description and how selective description affects word meaning in computational models. Her current work focuses on using computational modeling to better characterize the expansion of meaning in children's language development.
