Sonja Johnson-Yu

Sonja is a fourth-year PhD candidate in computer science. Her research aims to understand animal communication by examining the interplay between signaling and behavior, unifying agent-based models of animal behavior with autoregressive animal “language” modeling. Previously, she received a BS, MS (CS), and BA (Music) from Stanford, where she applied computer vision and natural language processing methods to problems in sustainability and education. Outside the lab, she enjoys singing in the Harvard University Choir and Ferris Choral Fellows.
