I am an Associate Senior Lecturer (Biträdande universitetslektor) at the Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science at the University of Gothenburg, where I work in computational linguistics. Additionally, I work as the Coordinating Director of CLASP (Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability).

My research interests include:

• Discourse and long context: I research long-context phenomena such as coherence and how humans interpret referring expressions like ‘it’, ‘this’, and ‘that’, particularly in relation to events versus entities.

• Small models: In a world of LLMs, I have recently become invested in developing small language models and NLP that can effectively serve genuinely low-resource languages.

• Multilingualism: My research also explores the utilization of parallel corpora for different problems and I maintain a keen interest in machine translation from my PhD days.

Previously, I held postdoc positions at the University of Potsdam, the University of Gothenburg and the University of Helsinki. Additionally, during my PhD studies, I spent a year as a visiting researcher at Uppsala University. I completed my PhD in 2017 at the University of Geneva.
