Jared Coleman will assume the position of an assistant professor in computer science at Loyola Marymount University this fall.
Coleman has developed a suite of digital tools related to language revitalization, named Kubishi or 'brain' in Paiute5. This suite includes an online dictionary and a sentence-builder and translation system enabled by his research. These tools aim to support the revitalization of the Owens Valley Paiute language.
Jared Coleman is a member of the Big Pine Paiute Tribe of Owens Valley, and his father, David, grew up on the tribe's reservation in Big Pine, CA. Paiute is his ancestral language.
