I am a third year PhD Student at Purdue University, where I work on Natural Language Understanding with Dr. Julia Taylor Rayz at the AKRaNLU Lab. I am particularly interested in relating natural language processing algorithms and models from the perspective of ideas in cognitive science (specifically, the study of concepts and categories). I work closely with Dr. Allyson Ettinger of UChicago. I am also affiliated with CERIAS, Purdue’s center for research and education in areas of information security.

In 2018, I was fortunate to be a Purdue Research Foundation fellow. I then taught database fundamentals to sophomore level undergraduates for three semesters. I am currently funded by an NSF-EAGER grant focused on integrating cybersecurity education through Computational Humor.
