Hi!
I'm currently a 5th year linguistics PhD student at UMass Amherst.
I'm interested in:
Phonetic category learning
Speech perception
Phonological typology
The mechanisms by which phonetics and learning affect phonological typology
The methods I use are:
Computationally implementing hypotheses to test against experimental data from human participants
Probing the behavior of computational models, such as neural networks, so we can better understand their predictions
Past education:
B.S. in Computer Science (AI specialization) and Linguistics, The Ohio State University 2016-2020
