I'll start my post-doc at Yale Linguistics as part of the Computational Linguistics at Yale (CLAY) Lab at Yale University on Jan 1, 2026. I am focusing on neural network interpretability through formal language theory.

I hosted and organized the FLaNN seminars, an online seminar series on Formal Languages and Neural Networks.
