Work Experience 2007-present: Adjunct Lecturer, George Mason University Department of Linguistics I have taught an introductory graduate course in Descriptive Linguistics (Fall 2007). 2006-present: Adjunct Lecturer, Georgetown University Department of Linguistics I have taught two graduate seminars in “Tone and Intonation” (Spring 2006) and “Gesture and Language” (Spring 2007). 1997-present: Principal Artificial Intelligence Engineer, The MITRE Corporation, McLean VA I am currently assistant manager of a department of 70 engineers working in various aspects of artificial intelligence. Prior to that, I directed research and development in computational linguistics, and managed a group of twenty computational linguists. I’ve served as PI or co-PI on multiple research projects with budgets totaling several million dollars. I’m currently directing research in technology for annotating and analyzing nonverbal behavior across cultures. My most recent research project investigated multi-modal human-computer dialogue systems, with a focus on intonation, gaze and gesture. I also support numerous government agencies with language technology needs. 1993-1997: Lead Engineer, Hughes Information Technology Systems, Reston VA I conducted research, development, and implementation of a variety of software, ranging from efficient inexact string searches of large text repositories, to improvements of neural-network optical character recognition. 1991-1993: Director of Training and Support, Edunetics Corporation, Arlington VA I directed the training and technical support department for an educational software company. I conducted classroom training sessions for high school teachers nationwide. 1990-1991: Software Engineer, Metron Corporation, Reston VA I developed software for automatic optical pattern recognition. 1990: Instructor, National Learning Center, Washington DC I taught math to at-risk middle-school DC public school students. 1987-1989: Director of Academic Computing, Proctor Academy, Andover NH I taught college-level computer science, and managed an academic computer center. 1985-1987: Instructor, Outward Bound, Rockland ME I led wilderness rehabilitation courses for at-risk youth. 1984-1985: Software Engineer, Auto-trol Corporation, Denver CO I developed peripheral driver software for a computer-aided-design system manufacturer.
