About
At Stanford, I’m advised by Dan Jurafsky and Christopher Potts. My research is focused on interpretability.
I want to understand how neural networks (particularly language models) work. To that end, I’m excited about causal approaches and insights from linguistics—however, I’m not committed to any particular line of work and am always excited to try new things!
I completed my B.S. in Computer Science and Linguistics at Georgetown University, where I worked with Nathan Schneider. I interned at ETH Zürich with Ryan Cotterell working on information theory, as well as at Apple and Redwood Research. (See my CV for more.)
