(1/2020) Extremely honored to recieve the 2020 Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship for my research in applying techniques from neurocognitive science to software engineering. I am incredibly thankful for the support of my family, all of my mentors, and co-authors! Special thanks to my brilliant advisor Dr. Venera Arnaoudova — your guidance, dedication, and enthusiatic encouragment made this possible!

Congratulations to the 2020 Ada Lovelace and PhD Fellowship recipients! Their work, ranging from applications in mental health & neuroscience to quantum computing & model bias, leads a new vanguard in technology’s evolution. Learn more about 2020 fellows: https://t.co/MxfABZpiew
