About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Second Language Studies at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. I study how second language learners use words and grammatical structures at different levels of proficiency. More broadly, I hope to contribute to the development and validation of empirical measures for learner corpus research. To do this, I use natural language processing to extract and quantify linguistic features from learner corpora, while also building, documenting, and publicly releasing related resources. If you're interested in working with me as a PhD student, please read this page.
