Stephanie Schoch

I am a Computer Science PhD candidate at the University of Virginia advised by Dr. Yangfeng Ji in the Information and Language Processing (ILP) Lab. My research interests lie in data quality analysis and selection, with a particular interest in natural language data.

Prior to starting my PhD at UVA, I completed my undergraduate coursework at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Computer Science and Psychology.
