I’m a PhD student (2024- ) at the Linguistics department. My concentration is in computational linguistics. Broadly, I’m interested in robust representations of structure in language, and how statistical learners resolve structural ambiguities. My past and current projects are outlined in research.

Outside of classes and assistantships, I like to participate in intramural sports, as both player and coach, and attend free food events around campus…for the good of the planet!

Spring 2025

I am research assistant for Ethan G. Wilcox, working on quantifying the redundancy in the syntax-prosody interface. How much does prosodic features tell us about the syntactic structure, and how much does knowing the syntactic structure decrease uncertainty in prosody?

I am continuing to work with Nathan Schneider on the Korean SNACS project, where we explore the Korean wordhood. Are josa postpositions words or suffixes? How do multi-word expressions occur in Korean?

Fall 2024

I was research assistant for Nathan Schneider, working on making updates to the Korean SNACS (Hwang et al. 2020) project to meet Universal Dependencies compatibility.

I also attend Ethan G. Wilcox‘s PiCOL lab meetings.

I played for MPP & MIDP in the Grad/Staff IM soccer league. We were eliminated in the semifinals after a 1 (4-3) 1 PK shootout loss to 55H.

I managed the Lambda Lobbers, representing the Linguistics Department, in the badminton doubles tournament. We were eliminated in the quarterfinals after a 0 – 2 set score loss to the Pauls.
