Dan Jurafsky is the Reynolds Professor in Humanities, Professor of Linguistics, and Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University. He holds dual appointments in the School of Humanities and Sciences (Linguistics) and the School of Engineering (Computer Science). His research bridges computational linguistics, natural language processing (NLP), and the sociocultural dimensions of language, including the linguistics of food. Jurafsky co-authored the influential textbook *Speech and Language Processing* and co-created an early MOOC on NLP. He received a MacArthur Fellowship in 2002 and authored *The Language of Food*, a finalist for the James Beard Award.
Education: B.A. in Linguistics (1983) and Ph.D. in Computer Science (1992), both from UC Berkeley. Postdoctoral work at International Computer Science Institute (1992–1995). Faculty at University of Colorado, Boulder until 2003, when he joined Stanford.
Research focuses on NLP applications to social sciences, human-computer interaction, and food linguistics. Recent work examines LLM ethics, bias mitigation, and AI’s societal impacts. He teaches courses like *CS 124: From Languages to Information* and *Race and NLP*.
Notable awards include the MacArthur Fellowship and recognition for interdisciplinary contributions. His labs and collaborations address cutting-edge NLP challenges, from speech recognition to ethical AI design.
