I am a post-doctoral fellow at the Insight + Interaction Lab at Harvard, hosted by professors Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viégas.
I did my PhD in computer science at the University of Michigan, advised by Professor Rada Mihalcea.
My research interests are in machine learning and natural language processing. I am particularly interested in understanding the representations learned by neural networks, and how they can be used to improve the interpretability and robustness of AI systems.
During my PhD, I spent time at Meta AI, once on the Reasoning, Attention, and Memory team (Advised by Jing Xu, Jason Weston), and once on the Diplomacy team (Advised by Emily Dinan, Mike Lewis). I have also spent time at Microsoft Research on the Knowledge Technologies and Intelligent Experiences (KTX) team advised by Silviu-Petru Cucerzan. Prior to the PhD, I led the Core AI R&D team at Clinc, where we built virtual assistants and conversational AI platforms for financial institutions.
When I am not reverse-engineering neural networks, I enjoy playing tennis and rowing.
