I'm a final year PhD student in the University of Washington's natural language processing (NLP) group, advised by Noah Smith and Yejin Choi. My research focuses on how NLP can help us understand human behavior, and how we can endow NLP systems with social intelligence, social commonsense, or theory of mind.
During my years of graduate school, I have made it a priority to mentor undergraduate and master students, be engaged in service for both my academic and university-wide communities.
