How do I enroll in CS 288 as an undergraduate? Please see my post on the Ed question about this course. Please do not email me or Dan Klein with your questions unless they are not answered by that post. If you're interested in the course and cannot join the official waitlist (e.g., you are an undergraduate), please fill this Google form.
Details about this admissions cycle will be updated later Fall 2024.
Are you taking new students? I'm not sure if I'll be taking students in the 2025 cycle.
Can we set up a time to discuss PhD opportunities? Sorry, but I'm not able to meet individually with people considering applying to the PhD, or with those who have applied and are requesting a 1:1 meeting.
What if I have a question about the MS program? I unfortunately don't have answers to any questions about Berkeley MS programs. Please see this page, which contains information about all of the graduate programs.
How should I indicate interest in working with you? Please select me as a potential advisor in the submission form, and mention my name in your SOP.
Can you give advice or feedback on my application? I cannot, but there is a student-led program in Berkeley EECS for providing feedback about application materials to applicants. The deadline for 2024 admissions has passed, but for future reference, information is available at the EAAA website.
What is your future research plan? Broadly, my research focuses on building computational models of language use and acquisition in interaction. This has mostly included topics like models of language grounding in vision and embodied environments, learning algorithms for interaction-driven learning, and dataset curation for understanding natural human language use in interaction. However, my research plan is not fixed in place, and the broadest interpretation of my research interest includes a wide variety of questions about language that I haven't studied in the past. I am open to working on new compelling and fundamental problems in language and interaction. You can also check out my (Fall 2021) research statement for some more details.
Are you hiring postdocs, interns, undergraduate researchers, or other research positions? I am not planning to hire for these kinds of positions at the moment. Opportunities will be posted on my main page when they become available.
Do you have 30 minutes for a quick chat about a startup venture? Probably not.
