Computational linguist with experience developing language analytics systems in industry, government, and academia.

Profile Summary

My background is in theoretical and computational linguistics, with a focus on syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. I am interested in developing computational systems that can analyze linguistic data to provide knowledge management that is verifiable and linguistically motivated. My current research is focused on developing tools to verify the structure of technical standards and past research has analyzed domains including computer security, materials science, digital twins, mathematics, and IoT systems. Engineering and science depend on natural language for communication, so reliable explorations of justification, uncertainty, and knowledge are essential in almost every domain.
