NEW! I defended my dissertation on Sept 21, 2009! I’m now a postdoc at Canegie Mellon University. Check out my new site here: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~huaai

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Intelligent Systems Program at University of Pittsburgh. My advisor is Diane J. Litman.

My research interests lie generally in spoken dialogue systems (SDSs), with a particular interest on user simulation for dialogue manager design.
