About

I am an associate professor with tenure at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), with appointments in the School of Information and College of Engineering, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (affiliate, CSE Division). I am also an affiliate faculty member of the Artificial Intelligence Lab and the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS). From 2022 to 2025 I was the academic director of the Masters of Applied Data Science program, the largest online degree program at the University of Michigan. Spanning 20 years of academic and industry research, my work blends information retrieval, machine learning, natural language processing, and large-scale data mining to optimally connect people with information, especially to help them learn and discover.
