I am a Senior Deep Learning Researcher with a focus on (large) language models and natural
language processing (NLP).
My work experience includes customer feedback analysis at Chattermill, and
hatespeech detection at Rewire.
Before that, I completed a PhD in Computational Linguistics at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).

Thrugh April and May 2024, our open-air exhibition MYgration will be open to the public in Westerpark
Amsterdam. This exhibition is the culmination of a series of interviews with various people who, for
various reasons, have left their own country to come to the Netherlands.
You can view the online version of the exhibition at mygration.nl
End of June I'll be joining Chattermill's data science team and work on developing dedicated neural language models to analyse customer feedback at scale.
Find a press statement here.
You can now find my PhD thesis on polysemy at the Online Library of QMUL.
In October 2021 I will be joining The Alan Turing Institute as an Enrichment Student.
Together with some friends I founded Correspondents of the World, an online platform where we share personal stories of people from all around the world, to tell their experiences with global issues like environmental change and climate emergency, migration, gender and sexuality, liberation, education and the coronavirus.
