About Me

I'm a PhD student, soon to be alum, at UCI. My research investigates how computational complexity influences the behavior of language both during acquisition and during language change. I'm particularly interested in how mutual compressibility influences the outcomes of learning and contact scenarios. The primary tools I use to investigate these questions are neural networks for their functional expressivity. Academics used to be my hobby before it became my job. I've been taking the time to find additional hobbies. Maybe for this reason I've combined my love of programming with my love of academia by running Eudaimoneion, a site I hope to convert into a personal demonstration of research allowing for running feedback.
