I am a computational linguist and NLP researcher with an interest in natural language understanding and its applications, such as question answering or semantic search. I'v recently started to work more on transparent and robust language models, trying to make them efficient in terms of size and data consumption, and to make their parameters and behaviour explainable. In my work, I mostly use large language models that were trained with deep learning methods. I also have profound experience in data acquisition and crowdsourcing, as well as educational NLP.I am currently leading mid-sized research projects both administratively and scientifically. I am experienced with project acquisition and group management and currently manage a group with 20+ employees. I have been working both in academic research and industrial research and development, especially in the automotive sector.
