Hello and welcome! I'm currently an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science at Montana Tech. Here you can find information about my research, including publications and software. You can also find out what I do for fun, including photography and travel.

My research interests include speech recognition, language modeling, and human-computer interaction (HCI). In particular, I am interested in how multiple input modalities can be combined to efficiently correct speech recognition errors. My goal is to utilize the rich information available to the recognizer to enable efficient user-guided correction. I am also interested in improving the performance, usability, and accessibility of text entry interfaces.

What's new:

• December, 2011 I'm co-organzing a workshop at CHI 2012: Designing and Evaluating Text Entry Methods
• August, 2011 We have released a test set of genuine mobile emails mined from the Enron corpus. We provide a variety of test sets for use in text entry evaluations. For details, see our MobileHCI paper.
• July, 2011 To help improve text entry interfaces for augmented and alternative communication (AAC), we released an AAC corpus and a set of trained language models. You can read more about it in our EMNLP paper.
• June, 2011 I was quoted in an MIT Technology Review story about Google's desktop speech efforts.
• September, 2010 Our research on the mobile speech recognition interface Parakeet was featured in The Economist Technology Quarterly.
