I'm a current 4th year PhD student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I'm interested in the mechanisms by which speech perception and learning influence phonological typology. I use computational methods to implement hypotheses so that they can be tested against experimental data from human participants. I also probe the behavior of computational models, such as neural networks, so we can better understand their predictions.
