I am currently a research scientist at Google in Cambridge, MA.

I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle, where I worked in the Interactive Systems Design Lab (ISDL), advised by Les Atlas and James Pitton. My dissertation work was on how to combine interpretable statistical models of audio and other sequential data with deep learning. During my Ph.D., I also interned at Microsoft Research and with the Speech & Audio group at Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (MERL).
