Hi, I’m Selena. I am a post-bacc RA at MIT working with Ev Fedorenko. Here, I work on many projects related to language processing and representations in brains and LMs.

I am interested in how agents flexibly extract, encode, and represent meanings. What are the mechanisms and architectures that underlie intelligent communication?

Recently, I graduated from Haverford College with degrees in Mathematics and Cognitive Science. I was also lucky to work with some wonderful mentors: Benjamin Zinszer through my senior thesis, Chris Potts and Tobias Gerstenberg through the Stanford CSLI internship, and Furong Huang through the REU-CAAR program.
