I am an Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida's Department of Computer Science and Engineering and Director of the Language GRASP Lab. I received by doctorate at the University of Rochester, advised by Len Schubert. My research interests are in the intersection of natural language processing, computer reasoning, and computational linguistics. I create algorithms that model formal representations of natural language meaning and structured information to enable computers to interact with language in a generalizable manner. My long term research goal is to enable computers to robustly understand and use natural language in arbitrary settings.

Online Resources

• ULF Website
  This is the general project website for the ULF project. It holds a collection of blog posts that describe ULF in more detail than possible in publications or focused documents. It also links to resources used by the project, such as annotation guidelines, the annotator, and code.
• ULF and Inference Annotators
  Annotators for my research project on annotating and demonstrating the inference capabilities of underspecified episodic logic. If you're interested in getting involved please let me know! I'm always looking for more collaborators on this project.

• (Steel Bank Common) Lisp Highlights
  This documents highlights aspects of Steel Bank Common Lisp that are important for getting started as a beginner. It covers important functions to know, some weird aspects of Lisp, minimal debugging tips, and some exercises to get comfortable with Lisp programming.
