I am an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at Union College.

Before moving to Union I was a postdoc in the ArticuLab at Northwestern University. And before that I did a joint PhD at the Department of Computational Linguistics at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany and in the group Langue et Dialogue (now Talaris) at Loria in Nancy, France.

My research interests are in computational linguistics. In particular, I am interested in natural language generation, computational semantics and pragmatics, dialog systems and embodied conversational agents.

In spring 2012, I am teaching Game Development: Intro to CS (CSC 105) and Natural Language Processing (CSC 206).
