Hello! I am a PhD student at JHU CLSP, and my advisor is Mark Dredze.

Since I am still exploring, my interests are nascent. In general, I am interested in interpretability, evaluation, and generalization. I also want to keep fairness and biases in mind when conducting my research.

Before my PhD studies, I was a resident at FAIR Labs, working with Adina Williams and Dieuwke Hupkes. I obtained my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees of computer science (B.S., M.S.) and mathematics (B.A.) with a mnior in classical studies at University of Washington. My advisor was Noah A. Smith, and I was supervised by Ana Marasović. During my undergraduate years, I also worked with Christopher Hoffman on dual random-walk systems. Thanks a lot to the support of my advisors and my donors, I was able to conduct research and keep learning.

I have a limited amount of experiences investigating things in life, but if you are having questions and you think I can help, feel free to email me.

Cat Warning

I have two very cute cats: Bert (white collar with white paws) and Roberta (grey and looks like a little leopard). While you are browsing my website, I hope pictures of Bert and Roberta can make you feel happy and relaxed for a second.
