She earned her Ph.D. and M.A. in Linguistics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Cecilia's research examines how language users construct meaning, beyond traditional semantics and pragmatics. By applying theory-driven computational modeling and corpus analytic study, her research focuses on the role of affect/subjectivity and multimodality in meaningful language behaviors. She is collaborating with faculty colleagues and students at the Multidisciplinary Vision Research Laboratory on multimodal human-centered computational modeling solutions.
