about me
I am a PhD student in Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. I study how communication between individuals shapes the way word meanings change over time. More generally, I am interested in using behavioural experiments and computational methods to develop a better understanding of human language and cognition.
I am a member of the Centre for Language Evolution and the CDT in NLP. My supervisors are Simon Kirby, Kenny Smith, and Graeme Trousdale.
