I'm an assistant professor in the School of Library and Information Science at the Louisiana State University (LSU). I joined the faculty in August 2008, after completing my Ph.D. in Information Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP). While at UMCP, I did most of my research at the Laboratory for Computational Linguistics and Information Processing, Institute for Advanced Computer Studies. I worked as an information analyst in China before going to UMCP. My primary research areas are information retrieval systems (especially multilingual and cross-language information retrieval and text classification), computational linguistics for text analysis, and knowledge organization. I also have strong interests in information/intelligence analysis. My teaching aims to educate technologically savvy knowledge workers. All my courses have a component of creating an information/knowledge organization artifact, such as a database, Website, digital library, information retrieval system, classification/taxonomy, and thesaurus.
