I'm an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Queens College of The City University of New York (CUNY) and also a member of the faculty of the Doctoral Program in Computer Science at the Graduate School and University Center of The City University of New York.
My research is at the intersection of several areas of computer science: assistive technology for people with disabilities, natural language processing, automatic text readability detection, virtual human animation, and the computational linguistics of American Sign Language. I'm the director of the Linguistic and Assistive Technologies Laboratory (LATLab) at CUNY. I am also a member of the "NLP at CUNY" computational linguistics research community.
