About Me
|
I'm an associate professor in the iSchool at the University of Maryland. I joined the faculty in August 2004, shortly after completing my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, and was promoted to associate professor in March 2009. I also have appointments in the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) and the Department of Computer Science at Maryland. I work at the intersection of natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval (IR), with a recent emphasis on scalable algorithm design and large-data issues. I direct the recently-formed Cloud Computing Center, an interdisciplinary group which explores the many aspects of cloud computing as it impacts technology, people, and society. I'm also a member of both the Computational Linguistics and Information Processing Lab (CLIP) and the Human-Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL). I'm currently spending my sabbatical at Twitter, so that's why you should definitely follow @lintool on Twitter here! I also do some work from time to time for Cloudera, which aims to bring Hadoop MapReduce to the enterprise. |
