I am a PhD candidate at Purdue University, where I work on Natural Language Understanding with Dr. Julia Taylor Rayz at the AKRaNLU Lab. I am particularly interested in characterizing the semantic knowledge made available to computational models that only learn from textual exposure. I work closely with Dr. Allyson Ettinger and her lab at UChicago. I am also affiliated with CERIAS, Purdue’s center for research and education in areas of information security.
I was recently selected to be a Graduate Student Fellow in the inaugural Purdue Graduate School Mentoring Fellows program!
I am the author of minicons, a python package that facilitates large scale behavioral analyses of transformer language models.
