it's as bad as it looks
Hello here is some stuff about me. I'm a grad student in Linguistics and Brain & Cognitive Sciences at Rochester.
Research interests:
- Realtime integration of multiple information sources, updating semantic representations
- Domain restriction, presupposition/accomodation, focus-sensitivity in sentence comprehension
- Processing of scopal ambiguity
- Structural priming, scope of utterance planning in sentence production

Fun activities:
I don't do anything fun. But here is the coolest thing ever. Here is another coolest thing ever.
The other day I drew a picture of Jack Kerouac using only the touchpad on my laptop.
This is something Sameer made for me (notice the total agreement on grayness).
Where possible, avoid using passive voice.
And finally here is a picture of my punky little sister looking like Jenny Shimizu. She is a highly educated all-purpose humanities bum who lives in NY.
