I'm an associate professor in computer science at University of Maryland, College Park and a member of CLIP. Previously, I was an associate professor at UMass CS, a Young Investigator at AI2, and a PhD student at UMD CS. My research focuses on natural language processing and large language models. I'm currently excited about:

  • long-form text generation
  • long-context language understanding
  • AI agents for collaborative writing
  • AI-generated text detection
