I am an Associate Professor (Biträdande universitetslektor, Docent) 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, reference, and context: I am interested in how meaning is built across discourse, especially how we keep track of entities and connect information across longer and multimodal contexts. More recently, I have been exploring what reference and other contextual phenomena can tell us about how humans and language models use and represent context.

• Language models beyond high-resource settings: I am interested in what it takes to pretrain useful language models from very small amounts of data, and in how existing LLMs can be used to better support underrepresented languages and language communities with limited digital resources.

• 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.
