Hello and welcome! I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington Information School, where I lead the Language Accessibility Research (LARCH) lab. You can find a list of our publications here.
I am an NLP and health informatics researcher, studying how to design and build language technologies to improve access to and understanding of information, especially in high-expertise domains like science and healthcare. My work has resulted in techniques and tools to improve access to scholarly content, synthesize scientific evidence, and support people to make better decisions about their health.
