Graduate student, Linguistics
I am a first year PhD student in NYU’s linguistics department. My primary research goal to build bridges between work that is done within theoretical syntax and neurolinguistics. To do this, I am looking at comparing computational models of linguistic competence with data collected from psycho and neurolinguistics experiments in order to test hypotheses about what kinds of operations the brain performs while processing syntactic information.
Before joining the linguistics department at NYU, I completed a BS and MS in computer science at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), where I aided in research aimed at parsing natural language queries into semantic representations for the purpose of instructing a data visualization system to build visualizations from user input.
