Ph.D. Graduate

I am presently a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins: ddunaga1@jhu.edu

As a computational psycho- and neurolinguist, I investigate language---as a cognitive process---in the mind and brain. In this endeavor, I make use of natural language processing technology such as large language models and dependency and constituency parsers. Furthermore, I am interested in understanding how language processing, in the mind and brain, is similar and different across languages.
