OMG, I graduated!!! How did that happen? I used to be a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University, where I was a member of the Natural Language Processing Group and the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab, under the advisement of Chris Manning. Before that I was an undergraduate at Columbia University.

I'm now a postdoctoral fellow (thanks to the Computing Innovations (CI) Fellows Project) at MIT CSAIL, working with Mike Collins. My primary research focus is natural language processing, and I am also interested in machine learning and probabilistic graphical models. Here's my slightly-outdated CV.
