I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science at the Charles V. Schaefer Jr. School of Engineering and Science at the Stevens Institute of Technology. I direct the Explainable and Controllable AI lab. I’m also affiliated with the Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence (SIAI) and the Center for Research Toward Advancing Financial Technologies (CRAFT). Prior to joining Stevens, I received Ph.D. degree at the University of Toronto and Vector Institute, advised by Dr. Frank Rudzicz. I am broadly interested in Natural Language Processing and Explainable AI. My research involves understanding the mechanisms and abilities of AI systems, explaining them in natural languages, and incorporating the findings into controlling the AI systems. I look forward to building safe and trustworthy AIs that can assist humans better perform high-stakes tasks. I have served as an Area Chair or an Action Editor for NeurIPS, ACL Rolling Review, EMNLP and NAACL.
