Hi!

I’m a first-year PhD student at Stanford University. I’m interested in how humans transform sensory information into higher-level concepts and meaning, and in developing AI that emulates this ability more efficiently. Currently, I’m working with my advisors, Dr. Laura Gwilliams and Dr. Dan Yamins, on brain-inspired models of speech and language.

Prior to this, I completed my Masters in Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University, where I worked with Dr. Michael Bonner on understanding the representations and algorithms of primate visual cortex by studying the properties of high dimensional untrained vision models.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Integrated Engineering from the University of British Columbia.
