I am an Engineering Research Associate in the Computational Semantics Lab at the Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI), Stanford University, and my main research interests are in computational semantics and pragmatics. At present, I am involved in the CALO project, and work on a meeting assistant which detects and summarizes key dialogue events such as decisions and action items.

Before CSLI, I was at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, where I completed the MSc in Cognitive Science and Natural Language Processing, and then a PhD. My PhD investigated the use of machine learning (reinforcement learning) for dialogue management in spoken dialogue systems.
