I am a PhD student at the Language Technologies Institute in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. My advisor is Prof. William Cohen.

My research interests center around statistical modeling, machine learning and their applications in modeling text. My most recent work has been on nonparametric topic models for text with temporal variations. Previously, I worked on the RADAR project specifically on Message Task Linking (aka MeTaL). As a part of this project, Vitor Carvalho and I worked on CutOnce - a Thunderbird extension to do recipient recommendation and leak detection. Please do give it a whirl and send us feedback.
