My background is in Computational Linguistics, especially Statistical NLP and Computational Semantics. I studied at the University of Sussex, in the Department of Experimental Psychology, where my D.Phil advisor was Steve Isard. He taught me to focus on the work, and not to worry about what the department is called.

I am currently working for LivePerson, building dialogue systems for customer service chatbots. Previously, I have worked for Facebook, Digital Operatives, Thomson Reuters, Nuance, ETS and Sharp Laboratories of Europe Ltd. As an acedemic I taught and researched at Sussex, Edinburgh and Ohio State. I have advised close to 20 completed Ph.Ds, mostly at Ohio State.

I have done regular service for the Association of Computational Linguistics: mostly reviewing and workshop or conference organization.
