About
I am a final-year PhD student in natural language processing (NLP) at the University of Rochester, advised by Aaron White. My research interests lie primarily in document-level information extraction (IE) and event understanding. Some past projects in these areas include:
- Summarizing a specific event in a document, given some extracted event representation.
- Developing models for (multilingual) document-level IE with collaborators in Ben Van Durme's lab at Johns Hopkins University.
- Learning and representing the structure of events and the relations between them as part of the Decompositional Semantics initiative.
Outside of academic life, I run, read widely, and try to condition good reflexes into my neurotic dog, Remi (h/t great-granddad). I am also involved in the Effective Altruism community, and I think you should install a heat pump in your home and office.
Previously, I received a bachelor's degree in computer science from Bowdoin College, where I was advised by Stephen Majercik and Clare Bates Congdon. Following, I worked as a software engineer at Okta in San Francisco.
