I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of
Computer Science
at
Swarthmore College.
My research is at the intersection of linguistics, computation, and cognition:
I build computational and algorithmic models of language acquisition
and language processing and design psycholinguistic experiments.
Current Semester
