Hello! I'm a final-year PhD student studying ML/NLP at Northeastern University, advised by Byron Wallace; I'm also visiting at MIT, advised by Marzyeh Ghassemi. My research focuses on evaluating linguistic diversity in generative models and its downstream implications for robustness, novelty, and societal impact.
Currently, I'm interning on the Alignment team at MSL (
Meta) working on reasoning, synthesis, and pluralistic alignment.
I am also the developer/maintainer of diversity, a Python toolkit for (efficiently) evaluating diversity in text.
I'm on the postdoc+industry job market in 2026! Please reach out if you think I'd be a good fit.
The implications of (a lack of) diversity in text can be broad! Here are some of the research directions I'm interested in:
-
(1) Model Robustness and Safety
(2) Human Preference and Stylistic Cues in LLM Writing
(3) Multi-document Reasoning and Synthesis
Please see my Google Scholar for an up-to-date list of my publications!
In the past, I received my MSc in Applied Computing at the University of Toronto (advised by Frank Rudzicz); and before that, I received my BSc in Neuroscience at Carleton University. I also love fiber arts; you can often find me knitting in my free time.
