Lena Strobl, Ph.D.

Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University

I study what neural sequence models compute, how they represent structure, and how they generalize. My work sits across theoretical computer science, computational linguistics, and cognitive science.

Alongside research, I particularly enjoy teaching, organizing interdisciplinary programs, and building research communities.
