She received her PhD from UT Austin in 2009, has held a number of prestigious post docs and research positions in Germany (including positions at the Institute for Computational Linguistics in Heidelberg and the Institut f眉r Deutsche Sprache in Mannheim). Until her move to CU in 2021, she was an assistant professor聽at the聽University of North Texas, Denton. Dr. Palmer brings a prestigious National Science Foundation聽CAREER grant with her to CU.聽In this project, she is working on cross-linguistic methods for better development of language processing tools for low-resource languages. The聽project is called FOLTA (From One Language to Another). She has also recently become interested in the question of how we can make the outcomes of linguistic documentation more useable and accessible, particularly to support development of pedagogical materials for a language.聽
