I'm a Research Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department at UW, and an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Linguistics Department. My research interests include automatic speech recognition, natural language processing, machine translation, machine learning, and human-computer interfaces. I'm particularly interested in multilingual applications of speech and language technology.
