BioFields: machine learning, natural language processing.
Topics: unsupervised learning, structured prediction, statistical learning theory, grounded language acquisition, compositional semantics, program induction.
Learning semantics: Natural language allows us to express complex ideas using a few words, but the actual semantics are rarely directly observed. We therefore model the expressive semantics of language as programs whose execution produces observed data, and develop algorithms to learn these programs from indirect supervision. -

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Psychology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy program of research aims to answer two broad questions: What factors contribute to long and meaningful lives? How do individual life experiences, particularly those that are personally significant and challenging, shape the pursuit of meaning across adulthood in diverse contexts? I address these questions from a functional approach to autobiographical memory. Specifically, my work has focused on (1) emotional memories, meaning-making and adult well-being, (2) developmental changes in motivation and its relation to autobiographical remembering, and (3) sociocultural factors that shape the remembering. My most recent research explores potential cognitive costs associated with the pursuit of meaning in diverse aging groups.
