Biography

I'm a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Simon Fraser University, where I direct the Discourse Processing Lab. I am also an Associate Member of the Cognitive Science Program and the School of Computing Science. I work at the intersection of discourse analysis and computational linguistics. In discourse analysis, I study the mechanisms for coherence in discourse. In computational linguistics, I develop methods and algorithms to process and exploit discourse structure in different applications, such as discourse parsing or sentiment analysis. My research is interdisciplinary, at the boundary between theoretical and applied fields, between the social sciences and engineering. I'm a member of the Digital Democracies Institute and the Visual and Interactive Computing Institute. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a Corresponding Member of the Real Academia Galega de Ciencia in Spain.
