Danqi Chen

I am an associate professor of Computer Science at Princeton University and I co-lead the Princeton NLP Group. I am also an associate director of Princeton Language and Intelligence (PLI). In AY 25-26, I spent one year working as a member of technical staff at Thinking Machines Lab. I also have spent time as a research scientist at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) and Google DeepMind before. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University in 2018, where I was advised by Christopher Manning and worked in the Stanford NLP Group. Before that, I was an undergraduate student in the Special Pilot CS Class supervised by Andrew Yao at Tsinghua University.

Prospective students: I will be recruiting PhD students to start in Fall 2027. Please apply to the Princeton CS PhD program and mention my name in your application. I am unable to respond to individual emails or schedule meetings before the application deadline.
