Hej! I'm a Postdoc researcher in the field of AI, working with Prof. Anna Rogers at the IT University of Copenhagen's NLPnorth Lab and the Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence.
My research focuses on identifying consistencies in how machines learn in order to make training efficient enough for underserved communities. Towards this goal, I study the learning dynamics of ML models and leverage overlaps across languages and other modalities (e.g., visual art and music). Ultimately, I believe that understanding how models construct their knowledge is essential to broadening who has access to the world's information.
In my PhD on Quantifying Linguistic Variation, we improved the transferability of NLP models across languages and domains, as part of the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems' (ELLIS) fellowship for outstanding young researchers. The project was advised by Prof. Barbara Plank, Prof. Rob van der Goot, and Prof. Ivan Titov. Over the years, I have also been very fortunate to intern with excellent industry research teams at Apple and Amazon.
Additionally, I'm also somewhat known for the overly elaborate presentation of research papers (a.k.a., scientific communication).
In addition to the short research profile below, these pages link to a variety of personal and artsy projects:
