I am a PhD student in the computer science department at Stanford University. I am advised by Prof. Chris Manning and I am part of the NLP group.

In 2011, I obtained my Bachelor of Applied Sciences in Engineering Science majoring in Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto, where my thesis was advised by Prof. Geoff Hinton.
