Teaching AssistantsAll questions related to TA logistics (time-sheets, etc.) should be answered via the TA Canvas course. If you have questions about synchronous TA training, please read the instructions on the TA Canvas course, then reach out to me if needed.
I always welcome emails from students about the TA program/TAing (as opposed to emails that are sending me resumes). When hiring TAs for my own courses, I do not respond to resumes submitted via email. All applications, including resumes, should be submitted via the Khoury admin portal.
I also recommend that you reach out to your peers and get some on-the-ground perspective!
Research Currently accepting new studentsIn general, if you are interested in working on a research project with me, be sure to include thoughts about the kinds of projects you'd like to work on, how it might match up to work that I do currently, and why you are reaching out to me specifically. My current research projects focus on broadening participation in computing, the intersection of CS education and AI/NLP, the intersections of literature and AI, and computational social science.
I tend to not respond to "boiler plate" research or TA inquiries. I do currently have availability to work with students in my research areas on new projects, provided they align well with my research areas. I find that students who tend to have the best time with research are ones who are inherently interested in research as a pursuit (versus an element to add to a resume) For undergraduate students, this is typically within the framework of CS 2991/4545/4991 or DS 2991/4991; for graduate students this is typically within the framework of CS 7675.
StudentsIf you are a current or incoming Northeastern student interested in taking a course with me and there is no space available, reach out to your academic advisor (I have no power over course sizes or waitlists)!
If you are thinking of requesting a recommendation letter from me, please read the "Students" section. Thanks :)
Hello! I am an associate teaching professor and the Director of Teaching Assistants in Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University in Boston. I currently facilitate our faculty CS Education reading group with Katherine Socha and have facilitated our faculty Broading Participation in Computing reading group along with Laney Strange. Previously, I was an instructor in the Computer Science department at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
I do research in computing education, CS Ed + AI Ed, digital humanities, and in the intersections of sociology, ethics, and computing. I am currently working with the Center for Inclusive Computing, and was supervised by Carla E. Brodley. I am also affiliated faculty with the NULab for Digital Humanities and Computational Social Science.
In the past, I worked with the Laboratory for Playful Computation at CU Boulder. When I was a graduate student at Stanford, I was a part of the Natural Language Processing group and the Literary Lab with Dan Jurafsky and Mark Algee-Hewitt.
Before that, I studied English Literature and Computer Science at the University of Washington, Seattle and worked on automatic idiom identification with Luke Zettlemoyer.
I am involved in the activities of the local Out in Tech chapter, and always happy to respond to student and colleague inquiries regarding the intersections of CS, AI, ethics, and queer/trans issues.
