I'm a sixth-year Ph.D. Candidate at Princeton University working with Uri Hasson.
My background education is in computer science (B.S., JMU) and machine learning (M.S., Georgia Tech).
I study language processing in the brain during naturalistic settings. My research explores how people and their brains use language to communicate and understand each other. Specifically, I'm interested in how multiple brains synchronize to share information, and the neural code underlying successful communication. Check out some of my work below, papers, talks, or student resources.
