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 at Loria in Nancy, France.

My research interests are in artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction. In particular, I work on natural language processing and embodied conversational agents.

In fall 2007, I am teaching Theory of Computing (CSC350) and the labs for Introduction to Computer Science (CSC105). I am also supervising some senior projects.
