I'm a research associate at the University of Glasgow. I am currently finishing my PhD at Georgetown University, where I am an ARCS Endowed Scholar. I am a member of the Terrier Team and the IR Lab where I work on IR and NLP. My Phd advisors are Nazli Goharian and Ophir Frieder. I've done research internships at AI2, CNR, Adobe, and MPI-INF. Before graduate school, I worked as a software developer at IIT/SourceTech. Check out what I'm up to now!
