- Royce Fellowship
Concentration
Award Year
Elizabeth's Royce Fellowship combined her interests in pure mathematics and linguistics. After attending a summer course on semantic modeling using vector spaces, Elizabeth decided to continue this research through a Royce Fellowship. "The research I began as a Royce Fellow has turned into my life’s work. Thank you for putting me on a path to something that I love doing, where I wake up happy to go to work every morning. Thank you for the 34 distinct countries that I have been able to visit and the dozens of languages I have researched in these places. Thank you for the other Royce fellows who remain some of my closest friends no matter where we live in the world."
Following her graduation from Brown, she worked on linguistic applications at Fidelity Investments. She proceeded to receive a Ph.D. in Linguistics, specializing in mathematical models, and a postdoctoral fellowship at Northwestern University. Elizabeth has worked as an instructor at the European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information. Elizabeth is currently an Assistant Professor of Linguistics at the University of Quebec at Montreal.
