Hello!

This is my website. I use it to show off to people I want to hire me. I also post about little projects I do, mostly having to do with maps.

Work

I'm a Predoctoral Researcher at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2). I studied computer science and linguisitcs at Harvard. I am interested in using lingusitics and formal languages to study langauge models as general-purpose NLP systems.
