Biography

I am a second year PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at UIUC. I am also a Graduate Assistant for the Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTL) program. My research focuses on computational linguistics, specifically computational approaches to tracking language change and computational construction grammar. I also work in the Applied Psycholinguistics Lab (APL) in the Speech & Hearing Sciences department, where I am helping to develop new corpora and models to enable automatic annotation of young children's speech.
