About me
I’m a PhD candidate and research associate at LMU Munich, where I work in Michael Hedderich’s research group, that is affiliated with Barbara Plank’s MaiNLP lab and the Center for Information and Language Processing (CIS). I am also affiliated with the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML).
If you’re interested in collaborating or just connecting, drop me an email or send me a request on LinkedIn. For more informal things, you can find me on Bluesky.
Research interests
Currently, and without any order of priority, my research interests include
- explaining generalization in language models, e.g. in multilingual settings
- methods for interpretability, especially to attribute model behavior to the model components and training data
- further, how studying training dynamics can help with that
- language representations and measures of similarity between them
Besides, I like working with data from social networks and topic modeling.
