From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm a graduate student studying Linguistics, especially Philology, in the Washington, D.C. area, working towards my Ph.D., and am originally from Québec City. In a general sense, I'm focusing on the use of modern technology to analyze historical documents. My undergraduate degree is from M.I.T.
