I am a Research Fellow at the Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Harvard University. Starting July 2025, I will be an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University, where I will direct the Group for Language and Intelligence.

My work aims to understand the computational principles that underlie human language, and how language and cognition might be achieved by artificial models. I approach these questions by combining cognitive science and machine learning, with the dual goals of understanding the human mind and safely advancing artificial intelligence.

📣 I am recruiting PhD students and postdocs for my brand new lab! 📣 Please see my lab website for more details.

Previously, I earned my Ph.D. in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT, where I was advised by Roger Levy in the Computational Psycholinguistics Laboratory. I earned my B.A. from Harvard in Mathematics and Linguistics in 2018.

In my free time, I like making music, writing comedy, and playing SET.
