I am a Ph.D. student at Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Washington, advised by Professor Yejin Choi. I earned B.A. in Computer Science and B.A. in Mathematics from Colby College. During my undergraduate studies, I worked on Smart Primer at Stanford University HCI group.

My primary field of study is natural language processing (NLP), currently focusing on commonsense reasoning, connotative language understanding, and conversational applications for social good such as education and healthcare.

My long-term research goal bifurcates in two directions: leveraging computational methods to understand phenomena in the world in meaningful and interesting ways and applying advanced AI technologies to boost social good and justice.
