I’M ON THE JOB MARKET, PING ME IF YOU’RE HIRING!
I am a PhD candidate at the Language Technologies Institute of School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. I am very fortunate to be advised by Louis-Philippe Morency and Taylor Berg-Kirkpatrick. I am a member of MultiComp Lab and Berg Lab. I interned at Facebook AI with Douwe Kiela, Google AI with Jason Baldridge, and Amazon Alexa with François Mairesse . Previously, I worked with Ed Hovy and Teruko Mitamura at CMU. Before CMU, I was a member of Deniz Yuret’s AI-LAB. I am interested in grounded language learning and understanding.
