Hi, I am a postdoctoral AI researcher at the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab. I am also an incoming tenure-track Assistant Professor at Northeastern University (starting January 2026), with a joint appointment in the D’Amore-McKim School of Business and the Khoury College of Computer Sciences. My research focuses on large language models, AI agents, natural language processing, and human–AI interaction.
I completed my Ph.D. at MIT advised by Deb Roy, where I studied the foundations of LLMs and their applications to human communication at scale. Earlier, I earned an M.S. in Symbolic Systems from Stanford University, affiliated with the Stanford NLP Group, and a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A. in Linguistics, Summa Cum Laude, from Emory University.
I enjoy exploring ideas at the intersection of research and product innovation, and have spent rewarding summers with AI2, Google, IBM Research, Apple, ETS, and CMU. I welcome opportunities for research collaboration, mentorship, and conversation. If you’d like to connect, please reach out via email .
