Renata is a JD / PhD candidate at Berkeley, where her research focuses on the harms caused by machine learning models on marginalized groups. She is trained in computational social science and has interned at Twitter and Facebook. She enjoys learning both programming and human languages.
I am a PhD student in Linguistics. My research interests include understanding how our speech production and speech perception systems constrain linguistic variation, especially as it applies to the larynx. I am also interested in integrating theoretical representations of language with speech. I approach this using a broad variety of tools/methodologies, including theoretical work, experiments, and modeling. Current projects include developing a computational tool to expedite analysis of pitch and an online perception experiment on the relationship between pitch and perceived duration.
