Fall 2025 I am teaching CS 4973: Mechanics and Philosophy of LLMs in Fall 2025. This is a new large language models (without math or coding) course that Prof. Meica Magnani and I are co-teaching. It has no pre-requisites and is open to all students (not just Khoury majors). Are you interested in taking it? Are your friends? Feel free to reach out to me or Meica with any questions!
Teaching AssistantsSummer 1 2025 I am teaching CS 4120 in Summer 1 2025. Expect TA applications to open in mid March. All TA applications must be received via the Khoury Admin Portal. I do not respond to resumes submitted via email, as indicated in the informational email!
All 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!
ResearchIn 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, TA development, and the intersection of CS education and AI/NLP. I tend to not respond to "boiler plate" research or TA inquiries.
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.
Hello! I am a clinical instructor, Director of Teaching Assistants, and soon-to-be graduated graduate student at Northeastern University in Boston. Previously, I was an instructor in the Computer Science department at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
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.
I do research in computing education, digital humanities, and in the intersections of sociology, ethics, and computing. I am currently working with the Center for Inclusive Computing, supervised by Carla E. Brodley. I am also affiliated faculty with the NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks.
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.
