Academic Achievements
- Paper 'Meaning Beyond Truth Conditions: Evaluating Discourse Level Understanding via Anaphora Accessibility' accepted to ACL; two short papers accepted to CogInterp, one selected for oral presentation.
Research Experience
- Engaged in doctoral research at Yale University, focusing on the intersection of computational linguistics and psycholinguistics. Participated in multiple research projects and presented talks at relevant conferences.
Education
- Graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2022 with a B.S. in Computer Science & Mathematics and PNP (a philosophy-centric cognitive science program). Currently a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at Yale University, advised by Robert Frank and Tom McCoy. Active member in the CLAY Lab and the Language & Brain Lab.
Background
- Computational psycholinguist. Research interests lie at the intersection of computational linguistics and psycholinguistics, aiming to understand how humans and AI models incrementally represent and process human language. Particularly interested in algorithmic/mechanistic level interpretability. Uses methods from targeted behavioral evaluation, mechanistic interpretability, and human psycholinguistic experiments to study insights from the bidirectional interactions between cognitive science and AI/NLP.
Miscellany
- Enjoys reading books and drinking coffee, often found in cafes over weekends; loves music and visiting museums, sings in the Contour A Cappella group at Yale; also enjoys biking and hiking.
