I am currently a lecturer (~assistant professor) in computational linguistics at University College London. In mid-2025, I will move to the University of Vienna and start a WWTF-funded research group there.

Before that, I was a postdoc at Saarland University; a postdoc in Linguistics and Data Science at NYU as part of the 2020 Computing Innovation Fellow program, mentored by Tal Linzen; and a PhD student in Linguistics at Stanford and a member of the ALPS lab and the Stanford NLP Group, working with Judith Degen and Chris Manning.

My main research interests are in the evaluation of large language models and in computational semantics and pragmatics. I aim to develop more reliable natural language understanding systems and to develop psycholinguistic accounts of pragmatic language use. Please see my publications to find out more.
