I'm a second-year PhD student at Brown University advised by (the incredible) Ellie Pavlick. I also work with Stefanie Tellex and George Konidaris and a lot of the other wonderful people at Brown.

As an undergrad, I was advised by Ani Nenkova and Byron Wallace in various areas of language processing and machine learning. My research uses language to structure reinforcement learning, aiming towards building more intelligent, interpretable and ethical agents.
Specifically, I'm interested in building models for natural language understanding using a combination of compositional, logical methods and deep representations to help uncover better "meaning representations" that can help across a variety of grounded tasks. I'm also interested in modeling and introducing concrete world knowledge representations into existing models; specifically in settings that require agents to co-ordinate and reason pragmatically in different cooperative contexts.

Apart from work, I enjoy reading vast amounts of literature, various kinds of music and mostly just programming for fun. Feel free to reach out with research related questions or otherwise!
