Hello! I am a first-year PhD student at the at the University of Edinburgh, researching spatial understanding and world representation in brains and large vision-language models (LVLMs) under the supervision of Benjamin Peters and Frank Keller. My work is funded by the UKRI AI CDT in Designing Responsible NLP. Previously, I completed a BSc. (Hons) in Computer Science & Cognitive Science at the University of Toronto as a Lester B. Pearson International scholar. I worked as a research assistant at the CoNSens Lab under the supervision of Matthias Niemeier, developing deep reinforcement learning networks to model task feature integration in sensorimotor tasks. I also conducted research at the CL&NLP group under the supervision of Gerald Penn, investigating novel methods for modelling automatic speech recognition error to enhance downstream spoken language understanding. In my spare time, I like to go on long walks, preferably by the sea. Sometimes I like to make art too.
