Ethan Gotlieb Wilcox is an Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics at Georgetown University. His research seeks to understand the computational mechanisms that underlie language processing and language learning, both in people and in computational systems. Some of the questions he is interested in include: What are the features of the human learning algorithm that allow us to learn language so rapidly? What is universal about the way we process language, regardless of what individual language(s) we speak? And in the age of artificial intelligence, what is unique about the way that people use language? Prior to coming to Georgetown, he was an ETH Postdoctoral Fellow at the ETH in Zürich, Switzerland. He obtained his PhD in 2022 in Linguistics from Harvard University and his BA in 2015 from Stanford University in Symbolic Systems and Slavic Languages and Literatures.
