I have moved to the University of Michigan. Here is my new page.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm directing Language and Interaction Research (LAIR) Group. I received a Ph.D.  in Computer Science from Duke University. Before joining MSU in January 2003, I was a research staff member at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. My research interests include natural language processing, situated dialogue agents, artificial intelligence, human-robot communication, and intelligent user interfaces. My recent work has focused on grounded language processing to facilitate situated communication with robots and other artificial agents. Our main objectives are to enable natural interaction between humans and robots and to allow robots to continuously learn from humans about the joint environment and tasks. I'm also affliated with the MSU Cognitive Science Program
