Seattle, WA

I am a Ph.D. Student at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Illinois.

I recieved my combined B.S. and M.S. from the University of Washington. I spent time at Contextual AI as an intern.

My research broadly spans user-adaptive systems (natural language processing intersecting human-computer interaction) accomplished through reinforcement learning. My current interests primarily include:

  • Implicit goal inference from behavior cues
  • User adaptation of text interfaces
  • Collecting high quality data with implicit annotation
