I am an Assistant Professor in the Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, and a Canada CIFAR AI Chair at Vector Institute. Please visit the R2L Lab website to learn more about my research. I am on Bluesky and Twitter but email is preferred. I am actively looking for strong and motivated students with research experience in Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. I cannot directly advise more students at this time. I anticipate admitting 2 graduate students and 1 postdoc to start in Sept 2026. If you are interested in working with me, please apply on the R2L Lab website. Unfortunately, due to the volume of requests, I cannot personally comment on individual applications. If you are a company looking to form research collaborations, please email me directly. If you are curious about what my research style might be like as an advisor, please see this article. If you are looking for a bio for speaking engagements, please see here.
