CV • Blog
I am assistant professor of linguistics at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, and co-director of the masters program in computational linguistics. I also work as a software engineer at Google Research. Before that, I was assistant professor at the Center For Spoken Language Understanding, Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. My research interests include phonology & morphology, language acquisition, and speech & language technology (particularly finite-state methods).
