Welcome!

I am a prospective grad student interested in doing research in computational linguistics. Specifically, I am interest in research into language models such as Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. I am currently an undergrad student at the British Columbia Institute of Technology.

I have done research on knowledge representation and satisfiability and I am interested in incorporating those ideas into a linguistics project in the future.
