About



I am research scientist at Microsoft in Seattle, where I work on NLP technologies.
In June 2021 I graduated with a PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University,
advised by Dan Jurafsky in the Natural Language Processing Group.
Before Stanford, I studied Computer Science and Biology at Williams College.
Feel free to send me an email if you want to reach out.
