Researcher in computational linguistics & second language acquisition
I work on second language acquisition and applied linguistics, with a particular interest in computational linguistics. My research investigates computational approaches to L2 French pronunciation, combining phonetics, phonology, and learner speech data.
Previous MPhil researcher in Second Language Education at the University of Cambridge. PhD now. Build research-based educational tools for language learning, including Sifaks, a multilingual language learning app.

Fun fact: I know how to do a backflip on ice. I also reached Challenger in League of Legends. Each happened only once. Not in that order.
