I am a PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania advised by Prof. Chris Callison-Burch. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics, where I was fortunate to be part of the TAUR Lab and advised by Prof. Greg Durrett.

Personal

My Korean name is Ye Eun, two syllables forming one name, where Eun means grace.

In my free time, I enjoy watching musicals and exploring new coffee/matcha places.
