Research

My research area is Natural Language Processing (also known as Computational Linguistics). My research goal is to produce effective Language Technology by exploiting theories and techniques from Computer Science, Linguistics and Machine Learning. The C&C parser that I have developed with James Curran from the University of Sydney is a good example of this approach.

Biography

I am a Senior Lecturer at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, and a member of the Natural Language and Information Processing Research Group. From 2004 to 2008 I was a University Lecturer at the Oxford University Computing Laboratory, and a Tutorial Fellow of Keble College. Before that I spent four years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics, working with Mark Steedman. I have a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Sussex (under the supervision of David Weir) and a first degree in Philosophy from the University of Cambridge (Gonville and Caius College).
