"I am a Machine Learning engineer and linguist working at Apple. I currently lead the Human Evaluation group on the Responsible AI team, leading the data and evaluation efforts for Apple’s Generative AI products, as well as driving policy and taxonomy work for Apple Foundation models. In this role, I focus on identifying and evaluating harms and biases in customer-facing products that use Apple’s Large Language Models and Vision Models across modalities and languages."

"I additionally maintain an affiliation with the MIT Department of Linguistics, and continue to engage in research and publication as part of my role at Apple and as my role at MIT. My publications have focused on NLP, human-in-the-loop annotation, efficient data collection, question answering, visual understanding, and Responsible AI, including hallucinations and bias. In Falls 2023 and 2024, I taught a seminar on LLMs at MIT, open to undergraduate and graduate students in the Boston area. Check out the syllabus and blurb on my teaching page."

"I am currently a member of the Executive Committee of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), outgoing chair of the LSA Committee on Gender Equity in Linguistics, and a member of the LSA Committee on Linguistic Institutes and Fellowships. Most recently, I co-organized LEXING: Linguists in Industry, Non-profits, and Government, a symposium co-located with the LSA Annual Meeting in January 2025 and 2026, bringing together linguists working outside academia in all sectors and careers."

"I received my PhD in Linguistics from MIT in 2014, with a dissertation on the syntax, semantics, and processing of questions. Prior to joining Apple, I was a Lecturer in Semantics at Yale and a Visiting Assistant Professor in Syntax at NYU, and I have held a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship at McGill University. My academic research focused on different aspects of the syntax-semantics interface, using both traditional and experimental methods. I mainly worked on A-bar phenomena, including wh-questions, focus constructions, relative clauses and free relatives, ellipsis, wh-indefinites, (focus) intervention effects, and comparatives and superlatives."
