CV

I am an Associate Professor in the Linguistics Department at The University of Texas at Austin where I work on computational linguistics and natural language processing. More specifically, my research focuses on discourse processing, language generation, and NLP in social contexts. I belong to the Computational Linguistics Group at UT Linguistics, and the UT NLP Group. I obtained my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania in 2017, advised by Ani Nenkova. Usually, I go by Jessy.

I am the AI Lead of the Explorable Universe Research Group in the NSF-Simons AI Institute for Cosmic Origins (CosmicAI). I am also a Graduate Studies Committee member in the Department of Computer Science.

Some of the topics that I am currently researching include:
