About Me
I was born in Lille, France and grew up in Rochester, NY from the age of 5. I recently obtained in the Cognitive Science department at Johns Hopkins University, where I started in 2015. Before Hopkins, I was a student at Oxford, where I did an M.Phil in Linguistics. Even before that, I studied English at McGill University. My PhD work focuses on on the point of contact between computational linguistics and semantic theory: trying to understand the representation of semantic structures using formally explicity models, especially neural models. My primary interest is in understanding how human linguistic representations can (and do) arise out of the actions and interactions of simple computational units, yielding a system that, to a first approximation, has many of the characteristics of a classical computer.
