I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Southern California (USC). My advisor is Professor Jonathan May at the Information Science Institute in Marina del Rey. My research interests include natural language processing, machine learning, decipherment and machine translation. Prior to joining the Ph.D. program, I obtained my M.S. in Computer Science at USC. My thesis was on the decipherment of historical manuscripts, advised by Professor Kevin Knight.
