<span></span>Christian is
Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics in the Department
of
Literature & Languages. He received his Ph.D. in Linguistics
from Purdue
University in 2003 with a dissertation on the computational
phonology of puns. His
research focuses on computational semantics and natural language
processing for
information security and assurance.
