Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Bauer is a Senior Lecturer in Columbia University's Computer Science department with 13 years of experience bridging research-grade NLP and hands-on CS education. His research focuses on multimodal and discourse-level natural language understanding, with a dissertation that used synchronous graph grammars to map sentences to graph-based semantic representations and produced efficient induction and parsing algorithms. He co-founded WordsEye to commercialize text-to-scene technology, bringing research prototypes into product settings and advising on engineering and research strategy. In the classroom he integrates functional programming and studies how pre-college computing shapes student outcomes, combining curriculum design with data-driven teaching interventions. Comfortable moving between formal grammar formalisms, lexical semantics, and machine learning, he pairs deep theoretical work with practical systems thinking. Based in New York, he blends academic rigor with entrepreneurial experience to advance both NLP research and computer science pedagogy.
