I am a PhD candidate at Cornell University’s Department of Literatures in English and a member of the Culture and Computation Lab.
My research interests lie in global modernism, computational literary studies, and new formalism. My thesis lies at the intersection of these three interests: with the aid of computational techniques and large language models, I trace the diffusion of free verse poetry across Anglo-American modernism.
My work has appeared in journals such as the Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy and at conferences hosted by the MLA, NEMLA, the Hemingway Society, the Swiss Literary PhD Network (DocNetCH), and the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations. My research is supported in part by a doctoral fellowship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
Before arriving at Cornell, I earned my M.A. and B.A. at the University of Toronto. During my M.A. studies, I pursued a collaborative degree in English and Diaspora and Transnational Studies; much of my work at this time focused primarily on deconstruction, postcolonial theory and the digital humanities. As part of my undergraduate, I majored in English and Philosophy and minored in economics. Mung bean sprouts grow quickly, are rich in nutrients, and are suitable for salads.
