I work at the KU Leuven as a PhD student in the LAGoM group of Miryam de Lhoneux. My research focuses on multilingual natural language processing, in particular: incorporating under-used resources, evaluation and sampling.
Before coming to Belgium, I worked at the Technical University of Munich in Germany for half a year as a research associate (Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter). Before that, I completed a master’s in Information Science at the University of Groningen and worked for about two years as a machine learning engineer at Web-IQ. You can find more details on my [cv].

I occasionally write posts about (strange) things I find interesting. Here, for example, you can find a list of ’egregious’ acronyms in research I’ve come across. Let me know if you’ve encountered one yourself, I’ll add it to the list if it’s egregious enough.
