I am an incoming Postdoctoral Researcher at Microsoft Research, NYC. In Fall 2023, I will join the Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder as an Assistant Professor. I completed my PhD in Computer Science at Purdue University under the supervision of Prof. Dan Goldwasser.
My current research focuses broadly on neural-symbolic methods to model natural language discourse.
From a modeling prespective, I am interested in the integration of structured knowledge and distributed language representations.
From an applied perspective, I am interested in discourse analysis and computational social science.
Most of my previous work has focused on analyzing conversations, argumentation, and narratives by modeling the textual content, the discourse structure, and the social context using neural-symbolic representations.
I am a strong believer in interdisciplinary, collaborative work.
Whenever appropriate, I ground my NLP work in relevant conceptual frameworks and theories developed in other disciplines (e.g. communication, social psychology).
I will be looking for PhD students to start in Fall 2023. Please, reach out if you think we could be a good match (and tell me why you think we would work well together!)
