About
#

Broadly, I’m an interdisciplinary data scientist with special interests in psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, statistics, and Japanese. More specifically, I apply statistical and natural language processing techniques to solve problems and enrich my and my team’s understanding of whatever data is at hand. I bring a strong statistical background to my work, whether in the form of data handling, ad-hoc statistical analyses, or machine learning applications.
