My research is in Natural Language Processing (NLP) with a focus on grounding and embodiment. In particular, my interests are broadly: Modeling the semantics of the physical world, and Connecting language to perception and control.
Fall 2024 I intend to recruit students in Fall 24 (E[x] ≅ 1.5). Potential topics:
Embodied Dialogue
Language Conditioned Robot Control (mobile, not tabletop)
I am not accepting students for NLP, Vision+Language, Multimodality more broadly, etc
Applying to LTI vs RI vs MLD: The short answer is you should apply to the department whose curriculum aligns most closely with your educational and research goals. The department does not restrict who can serve as your advisor, but it does change when we get access to the applicant pool to add comments and whether my name is in the default drop down for visit days.
