Gaja Jarosz

Gaja Jarosz works in the areas of phonological theory, computational linguistics, and language learning and development. Her research seeks to better understand how natural language sound systems and their acquisition by children can be formally and computationally characterized. She received her MA and PhD in Cognitive Science from The Johns Hopkins University and her BA in Mathematics and Social Thought & Analysis from Washington University in St. Louis.
