Hello, I'm Mikey.
I'm a graduate student at the University of Vermont working at the intersection of computational methods and social systems. My research draws on natural language processing, network analysis, and mathematical modeling to understand how information moves through complex human systems.
Currently, I'm analyzing patterns in congressional communications using transformer-based models and tracking the evolution of AI education across university curricula. I'm also exploring dynamical models of misinformation spread, drawing on epidemiological frameworks like SIR and SIS systems.
I work with Python, Svelte, PostgreSQL, and LaTeX on a daily basis, and spend a lot of time on the Vermont Advanced Computing Core (VACC) running large-scale NLP pipelines.
