I am an associate 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 at Loria in Nancy, France.

My research interests are in:

• natural language generation for interactive systems that are situated in physical or virtual environments
• generation of stories from data that combine text and visualizations
• computing education, in particular for students from non-computing majors

In winter 2023, I am co-teaching Interactive Fiction Workshop (CSC 084/EGL 284) with Shena McAuliffe, and I am teaching Natural Language Processing (a special topics elective).
