I am currently a postdoc scholar at the Human Neuroscience Lab at the University of Chicago working with Steve Small. I am currently working on a longitudinal study on the neurobiology of language development in school-aged children. This study addresses the issues of reading development and narrative comprehension in children through tasks such as word reading, sentence reading, and audiovisual speech-gesture discourse comprehension.

I recently received my PhD in Computer Science at UC Berkeley. My dissertation research was a computational model of how children learn the grammar of their native language (which you can read all about here). My dissertation advisor was Jerry Feldman in the Computer Science Department, but I also worked with Carla Hudson Kam in the Psychology Department. Because of my advisor, I was also affiliated with the International Computer Science Institute as part of the Neural Theory of Language (NTL) group.
