I am an assistant professor1 at the department of computer science at
Purdue university.
Before that I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of
Maryland in College Park. I completed my Ph.D. studies at the University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the department of Computer Science.
I am currently working on applying machine learning approaches to
natural language processing problems. I am broadly interested in
connecting natural language with real world scenarios, and using them to
guide natural language understanding.

I'm moving!
I will join the computer science department at Purdue university as an assistant professor in the fall. Contact me if you are interested in natural language processing @ Purdue!
"from Words to Actions"
We are organizing a workshop about semantic interpreation in an actionable context at NAACL-12. Check out our website for more details.

"All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason."
