I am a second-year PhD at Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago, a machine learning institution near the University of Chicago. I am advised by Dr. Karen Livescu, and I am interested in multilinguality and evaluation. My recent works include:

• E Chang, N Bafna. ChiKhaPo: A Large-Scale Multilingual Benchmark for Evaluating Lexical Comprehension and Generation in Large Language Models. Association for Computational Linguistics, 2026.
• N Bafna, E Chang, NR Robinson, DR Mortensen, K Murray, D Yarowsky, H Sirin. DialUp! Modeling the Language Continuum by Adapting Models to Dialects and Dialects to Models. Association for Computational Linguistics, 2025.

I am honored to be a 2026 recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
