I am an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science in the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at Indiana University Indianapolis.
I am also an affiliate professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia.
My work explores language use from a computational perspective to facilitate human communication. Using Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, I discover patterns in text and build computational models of language use that are able to process large amounts of linguistic data. I investigate how people use language by bridging computer science and the disciplines of linguistics and psychology in the application domains such as health care and education.
I am seeking a highly motivated student with a strong background in ML/NLP for our Ph.D. program. If you are interested, please send me your resume, unofficial transcripts, and a brief description of your research interests.
