I am now a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, working with Lori Holt (UT Austin) and Fred Dick (UCL).
I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Maryland where I was a student in the Department Of Linguistics as well as a member of the Computational Linguistics and Information Processing Lab (CLIP) and a member of the Maryland Language Science Center. I was jointly advised by Naomi Feldman and Ellen Lau.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Computational Cognitive Modeling, Phonology and Neuroscience, where I aim to use computational models to study how humans learn and process speech sound categories. You can see more information about my dissertation work and interests here.
Before moving to Maryland, I received my Bachelor's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2018 with a double major in Linguistics and Brain and Cognitive Science.
