Research interests

My main research focuses on simulating the evolution of linguistic structure using neural agents. Specifically, I want to develop methods to simulate the cultural evolution of linguistic structure through neural network agent-based computational modeling, and to explore the nature of learners' bias (whether it's statistically learned or internal cognitive constraints).
