Overview
I'm a PhD student in the Department of Literatures in English, with interests including nineteenth-century British literature, queer studies, and digital humanities. My research explores the production of meaning, the phenomenological experience of reading, and what language looks like in modes of tension, extremity, or failure; I hope that computational methods used alongside traditional humanities methods might shed light on these operations of language. I have a data paper with Grant Wythoff, “Time Horizons of Future Fiction," upcoming in the Post45 Data Collective.
Previously, I attended Princeton University, where I received a BA in English with minors in Linguistics and Computer Science. I was awarded the Charles William Kennedy Prize and the Center for Digital Humanities Prize for my work applying computational linguistics to the syntax of secrecy in the fin de siècle Gothic.
