I received my Ph.D. degree 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, where I conducted research on multimodal and natural language conversational systems with my colleagues at Intelligent Multimedia Interaction Group and Conversational Systems Group .

I am broadly interested in natural language processing, multimodal conversation systems, information retrieval and text mining, and human computer interaction. I am also affiliated with MSU Cognitive Science Program. My current work involves robust multimodal interpretation in conversational systems, discourse processing for context/conversational question answering, and context-based multimedia information seeking.
Here is a list of funded projects.
