I am an associate professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. My research is in natural language processing, with a focus on building language technologies that are reliable, socially aware, and linguistically inclusive. Methodologically, I am interested in hybrid approaches that combine machine learning with insights from theoretical and social linguistics, cognitive science, and the study of how people use language in context.
Much of my research group's work focuses on large language models, AI ethics and safety, multilingual learning, and high-stakes applications such as AI for health and AI for science. This research is motivated by a unified goal of "NLP for All": to extend human language technology beyond narrow populations and across language and cultural boundaries, thereby enabling reliable and equitable AI for all users.
Here are my CV and Google Scholar page.
Previously, I was an assistant professor in the Language Technologies Institute, School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am currently an adjunct professor. Before that, I was a postdoc in the Stanford NLP Group. I received my PhD from CMU.
