Hi! My name is Jane (she/her). I'm a postdoctoral fellow at McGill Linguistics and Mila, working with Tim O'Donnell. I recently completed my PhD in Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University, where I worked with Kyle Rawlins and Paul Smolensky.
My research focuses on the learning and real-time processing of linguistic representations. How do we learn these complex representations with little data, and how are they accessed/built as we plan out our speech? I use computational modelling and behavioural experiments to answer these questions. My specialty lies in morphology and phonology, though I also work on other levels of linguistic structure. My doctoral research was supported by a SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship.
[January 2025] Gave an invited talk at LSA’s organized session on Computational models of learnability and acquisition of phonology and morphology.
[June 2024] Presented a poster at SCiL 2024 on phonological featural representations and their relationship to allomorphy in RNN-LSTMs. This is joint work with Kyle Rawlins and Paul Smolensky.
[May 2024] Honoured (with a u) to receive the SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship, which will support my research on psycholinguistics and allomorphy for the next couple years! 🦫
