I am a third-year graduate student in the Linguistic Department at the University of Pennsylvania and a trainee in the IGERT program at the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science. My advisor is Robin Clark and I am also currently doing research in Florian Schwarz's Lab. I am interested in the role of meaning in natural language in Semantics and Pragmatics, as well as in Sociolinguistics. My work draws heavily from Economics, particularly game theory.
