Morris Alper

I will be joining the University of Miami as an assistant professor of Computer Science in August 2026. I am looking for PhD students, postdocs, and collaborators interested in multimodal learning and language technology, particularly applied to digital humanities and low-resource languages. If you are interested in working with me, please reach out.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at CMU (LTI). I research creative multimodal machine learning inspired by linguistics—how structures encoded by language provide a tool for interpreting and controlling modalities such as vision and audio, ML as a creativity aid, and innovative methods for low-resource languages.

I completed my PhD in multimodal machine learning at Tel Aviv University, where I also received my MSc with honors. My BSc was from MIT, with a dual major in mathematics and linguistics. I was a research scientist intern at Meta in 2024, and have industry experience working as a data scientist and teaching machine learning to industry professionals.
