I am a fifth year PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, advised by Prof. Brendan T. O'Connor. I am a member of UMass NLP and the Statistical Social Language Analysis lab. My research interests are broadly in knowledge graphs, natural language processing, and computational social science. Currently, my research is related to node ranking in attributed graphs and information extraction. My publications are in Research and several papers are in submission.
Throughout Fall 2023 to Spring 2025, I have been working part-time at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and during the summers I am an AI/ML research intern there. Previously in graduate school, I worked with Prof. David Jensen and my research was in causal structure learning, causal inference, and explainable artificial intelligence. Before graduate school, I worked with Prof. Eric Allender in computational complexity theory and with Prof. Janne Lindqvist in developing methods to explore the privacy and security of ephemeral messages.
In my free time, I play tennis and play the piano, and like to travel.
