At UIC I work with Professor Cornelia Caragea and study inference-time methods for zero-shot abstractive document summarization. I earned my master’s at Johns Hopkins, where I worked on NLP with Professor Benjamin Van Durme at the Center for Language and Speech Processing. As an undergraduate at UMass Amherst, I conducted NLP research with Professor Andrew McCallum. I also completed research internships at Amazon Alexa AI and the USC Information Sciences Institute.
