I am an Assistant Professor in the Miner School of Computer & Information Sciences at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Lowell.
I direct the Computational Language Understanding (CLU) lab, where my students and I investigate some of the key problems in natural language processing (NLP) and healthcare.
For more information, please see my CV.
Prospective PhD students: if you are a motivated student passionate about advancing NLP, please see this page for current research opportunities.
My research centers on curriculum learning, generation, and strategies for handling and unlearning spurious, noisy and biased data in NLP. Below is a selection of my publications and the complete list can be found here.
