Digital Humanities
Alongside my research interest, I care deeply about the pedagogical connections between social sciences, humanities, and computer science. I am also interested in establishing bridges between academia and industry, and preparing students for successful careers in both. If you are a student and need advice in this sense, get in touch!
In summer 2020 I was a co-instructor for the course Topics in Computational Linguistics (together with Alena Aksenova, Jeff Heinz, and Thomas Graf) at the New York - St. Petersburg Institute of Linguistics, Cognition, and Culture (VNYI 2020, held online).
Joining the MeLo Lab
If you are interested in undergraduate or graduate study in computation, cognition, and language, this is the lab for you! You can check a list of current lab members here, and recent publications here or here). Note that you do not necessarily need computational skills when starting in the lab! In fact, I welcome and value different backgrounds! But you will be expected to gain some (with my help!!) as you go along.
Honors/UROP Students . If you are interested in writing an honors thesis in the lab, please get in touch with me at least two/three semesters prior to your anticipated graduation date. I consider proposals to write theses in the lab upon completion of at least one semester of lab engagement. For UROP proposals, I advice to get in touch at least three months before the proposal is due (e.g. at the beginning of the Fall for a Spring proposal, etc.).
Graduate Students . Before getting in touch with me, I strongly advise you to read some of my most recent publications. You can connect with me via email, with a brief description of your research interests and your ideas about how those connect with the work that I do. Generally, I am happy to offer advice/chat about whether my lab would be a good fit for you! But be aware that admissions are done at the central department level, and in no way conversations with me can guarantee you a spot!
