Welcome to my homepage!

I am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University in the linguistics department working with Daniel Jurafsky and also part of the Natural language Processing lab .

I finished my PhD in the University of Maryland, College Park, where I was in the linguistics department and was part of the CLIP lab in the University of Maryland Institute of Advanced Computer Studies . I worked under the supervision of a great advisor Philip Resnik. My thesis, defended in May 2003, is titled Word Sense Disambiguation within a Multilingual Framework.

Earlier on, 1995-1997, I earned an MSc. degree in Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning) from the George Washington University under the supervision of Professor Peter Bock.

I worked in the Center for Spoken Language Research (CSLR) at the University of Colorado at Boulder for five months as a research associate after graduation, then I moved to Stanford, California in January of 2004.

Here is my CV.

Research Interests

My main research area is statistical natural language processing. I am specifically involved in computational semantics, Arabic computational linguistics, semantic processing and machine learning.

I am interested in cross linguistic similarities and divergences in language use and how these types of relations can be exploited to solve some of the language processing problems.
The NLaSP coll maybe checked here.
