My research area is Natural Language Processing (NLP) with a focus on grounding. My agenda focuses on
     1. Uncovering the latent structures of natural language,
     2. Modeling the semantics of the physical world, and
     3. Connecting language to perception and control.

Job market: I'm currently on the job market, happy to share statements and work under review.   [CV]  [GScholar]
