Biography
I specialize in creating innovative and practical machine learning methods that drive advancements in computational health. My primary focus areas include natural language processing, temporal modeling, and human-AI interaction. I'm passionate about leveraging these techniques to deliver personalized decision support tailored to specific digital health applications. Please visit my website for more details.
Before joining Dartmouth, I was a postdoctoral research scholar at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science. I'm honored to have been recognized as one of the Rising Stars in EECS in 2020, which is an international group of upcoming female faculty members in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science who excel academically and are dedicated to advancing equity and inclusion.
