I
am an Associate Professor of Computer
Science at the University of
Texas at Dallas since September 2004. Before that, I spent six
years as a research scientist at the Columbia
University Department of
Computer Science and Center
for Computational Learning Systems. I received the five-year
Diploma degree in Computer
Science and Computer Engineering from the University of Patras
in Greece in 1990, the M.Sc. degree in
Computer Science from Columbia University in 1992, and the Ph.D. in
Computer Science from Columbia University in 1998. My main research
interests include statistical natural language processing, machine
learning, automated acquisition of lexical semantic knowledge from
large corpora, information extraction, summarization, question
answering, intelligent information retrieval, digital libraries, text
mining, bioinformatics, and medical informatics. I am presently active
in both the Human Language
Technology Research Institute at UTD and in efforts to establish
formal bioinformatics programs within the Computer Science department
and as a new interdisciplinary department. |
