please get in touch, and I’d be happy to discuss research opportunities in my group. Please tell me how your experience relates to the above criteria. I do not respond to generic emails.

If you are a UMD student and want to work with me, take one of my courses!

If you are applying to UMD and want to work with me, make sure to list NLP as your area of interest and list me as your first or second choice professor. I look at the applications closely. Also check if you are eligible for an application fee waiver for Big Ten institutions (including UMD) here!
