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.
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.
Generally I'm interested in LLM evals, modeling language and its structure; here are some of the research directions I've worked on --
-
(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.
