I am a second-year PhD student at the Information Extraction and Synthesis Laboratory (IESL), advised by Andrew McCallum. Previously, I obtained an MS in Computational Linguistics from Brandeis University, and worked for two years for the text group at Raytheon BBN Technologies.

My background spans various areas of natural language processing, including multilingual information extraction, NLP for low-resource and indigenous languages, and meaning representation parsing. During my time at IESL, my research interests have gravitated towards more ML-centered topics, including geometric representation learning, reinforcement learning with LLMs, and knowledge graph question answering (KGQA).
