I am a researcher in computational linguistics. After recently submitting my dissertation on the bootstrapped creation of lexica for sentiment polarity shifters, I am now moving to the field of sign language research. As part of the DGS Corpus project, I develop computational methods for the analysis, automatic classification and assisted annotation of German Sign Language (DGS).

Previously I have worked on sentiment analysis, metaphor recognition, and context integration in speech recognition.

I am also the developer of BibTexNanny, a tool that helps you keep your BibTeX bibliography clean and consistent, as well as create streamlined versions of it for individual documents.

I usually code in Python, though I have also had my fair share of Java in the past.
