About Me
I'm an incoming assistant prof in the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Computer Sciences department. I'm doing a gap-year postdoc at the University of Washington, working with Yulia Tsvetkov and Noah Smith. I previously attended Berkeley for my PhD and Stanford for my BS and MS.
My research is on natural language processing (NLP), computational social science + humanities (e.g. cultural analytics), and human-centered AI development.
I'm interested in:
- Societal impact and safety of language models (LMs) and generated content
- Computational sociolinguistics
- Evaluation, analysis, and improvement of human-AI interactions
- Culturally competent and inclusive NLP
- LMs as content analysis tools, especially for media studies, literature, and education researchers
My CV.
Katie Keith, Naitian Zhou, and I have a podcast, Diaries of Social Data Research, where we chat with researchers on the process behind interdisciplinary papers.
Miscellaneous
I've had two pet garden snails, both named Clementine.
My Merlin bird app says I've seen 253 species of birds since I started tracking in 2022.
