Dan S. Jurafsky is the Jackson Eli Reynolds Professor in Humanities and Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University. He holds joint appointments in the Department of Linguistics and Department of Computer Science. His academic journey includes a B.A. in Linguistics (UC Berkeley, 1983), Ph.D. in Computer Science (UC Berkeley, 1992), and postdoctoral work at the International Computer Science Institute (Berkeley, 1995-1998). Prior to Stanford, he was on the faculty at the University of Colorado, Boulder (1996-2003).
Jurafsky's research bridges computational linguistics, natural language processing, and sociocultural studies. Notable works include The Language of Food (2014) and co-authorship of the seminal textbook Speech and Language Processing (2009, 2022). His work applies NLP to domains like policing interactions, healthcare communication, and historical discourse analysis.
His awards include the MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship (2003), American Academy of Arts and Sciences membership (2020), and multiple ACL/IJCAI best paper recognitions. He co-created one of the first MOOCs on NLP with Chris Manning and has advised over 50 students, many of whom won top awards like the Arthur Samuel Thesis Prize.
Current projects include studying dialect bias in AI systems, linguistic analysis of police interactions, and ethical foundations of large language models. He leads interdisciplinary teams at Stanford's Center for East Asian Studies and collaborates with researchers in sociology, psychology, and computer science.
