I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Barnard College at Collumbia University. I am also an Affiliate Faculty in the Department of Computer Science at Columbia a member of the Data Science Institute (DSI), and an Amazon Scholar. My research is focused on human-centric Natural Language Processing for social good and responsible computing . I develop theory-guided and knowledge-aware computational models for understanding and generating language in context (e.g., visual, social, multilingual, multicultural) with applications to computational social science, education, public health. Research topics that I worked on over the years include: argument mining and generation, fact-checking and misinformation detection, figurative language understanding and generation (e.g., sarcasm, metaphor, idioms), language and vision, multilingual language processing for low-resource languages. I am also interested in explainable models and human-AI collaboration frameworks for high-quality datasets creation, helping humans solve tasks, and aligning AI systems with human values.

Before joining Barnard College as Associate Professor in 2024, I was a Research Scientist at the Data Science Institute at Columbia University. Prior to that I was a faculty in the School of Communication and Information at Rutgers University, where I co-founded the Laboratory for the Study of Applied Language Technologies and Society. While at Rutgers, I received a Distinguished Achievements in Research Award.
