hello

I’m a Master’s student at MIT studying Computer Science with a concentration in AI/ML. I successfully completed my B.S. in Computer Science with a Minor in Linguistics at MIT in June 2023.
helloMy MEng research is with the MIT Senseable Intelligence Group, where I am working on developing new self-supervised deep learning applications for neuroimaging.
helloI have always been fascinated by human language, which is why I pursued a minor in linguistics. Through the linguistics courses, I have gained an appreciation for the structure of human language, the mechanisms of language acquisition, and the universality of these concepts across all languages.
helloThrough the Quantitative Methods in NLP course, I learned about the history of, the fundamentals of landmark developments in, and the most recent research advancements in NLP. I have become more and more interested in how we can leverage insights from linguistics to build NLP models that have a deeper and more nuanced understanding of language.
helloDriven by the belief that technology should be a force for good, I aspire to contribute to the development of responsible AI solutions. Whether it's improving user experiences through language-centric applications or addressing societal challenges, I'm eager to make a positive impact on the world through technology.
