This photo is from 2014, visiting the castle in Heidelberg while on sabbatical at the University of Tübingen. I'm pondering either the legacy of Count Carl von Graimberg, or the hot chocolate to come shortly. CONTACT DETAILS

Apparently, the university will stop hosting this page in the near future, so I've replaced it with a github page. After 20 Dec 2022, I'll only update that page. Workwise, I'm a professor in the School of Computing of Macquarie University, in Sydney, Australia. Before Macquarie, I was a research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania's Institute for Research in Cognitive Science. RESEARCHI work in natural language processing (NLP) / language technology / computational linguistics, and am a member of the Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing research group. Specifically, I've worked on (among other things) native language identification, machine translation, natural language generation, and sentiment analysis (with a focus on how sentiment affects language choices).

I'm the School of Computing's director of research training (i.e. covering PhD and research masters) students. TEACHINGIn semester 1, 2022, I'll be teaching
I've taught a range of units over the years. I also think it's useful for students to know something about what their teachers are likely to be like. As one source of information, there's the sporadic appearance of the Alternative Calendar, but computing units are hardly ever mentioned there, and it usually sounds as if there's only ever a couple of (disgruntled) respondants. So, in case you're thinking of taking a class with me, here's a link to evaluations for several of my units. OTHERSome non-work things. I'm a member of Macquarie's Ally Network. |
