I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at UT Austin, where I lead the TAUR Lab. My current research covers a range of topics in statistical natural language processing, including question answering, text generation, document summarization, entity analysis, and other types of automated reasoning in natural language. Solving these problems lets computers access the information in unstructured text and transform this information in structured ways. See my research page for more information.
Prior to joining UT Austin, I received my Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in 2016, where I was advised by Dan Klein and part of the Berkeley NLP Group.
