Juan Diego Rodriguez | The University of Texas at Austin

I am a second year PhD student in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin, working with Greg Durrett and Katrin Erk. I am broadly interested in natural language processing and computational semantics.

Before joining the PhD program, I worked on applied NLP research at Applied Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Austin. Before that, I obtained a Masters in Computational Science, Engineering and Mathematics from UT Austin and a BA in Mathematics from Pomona College.
