About

I am a first-year PhD student in Linguistics at Northwestern University, advised by Jiayi Lu. Prior to this, I received my BA degrees in Philosophy and Computer Science from Colgate University, where I was primarily advised by Grusha Prasad.

I am broadly interested in psycholinguistics, pragmatics and computational linguistics. My Qualifying Paper investigates whether, and if so, how information structure and local syntactic construction modulate the depth of semantic processing in real time.
