I’m a PhD Student at the Linguistic Department at Georgetown University, advised by Ethan Wilcox. My research explores the mechanisms by which language and information is processed. I am specifically interested in:

• how modality shapes language processing,
• how language models learn linguistic structures either via explicit training or “emergence,”
• and how such models align with or diverge from human-like judgment and behavior.

Before coming to Georgetown, I was NLP engineer at NCSOFT, where I worked on NLU and information extraction.

Outside of classes and assistantships, I like to participate in intramural sports as both player and coach and attend free food events around campus.
