Speaking Hours
Please email me to set up an appointment before coming by- just to make sure I’m available.
Research Interest
I am currently a Senior Research Staff at the DICE group, where I lead the NLP unit and supervise both PhD and Master's students. My main research interests include:
- Natural language processing (including LLMs, Multilingual and low-resource language processing)
- Knowledge Graphs (representations and learning)
For more information, please refer to:
Reviewing
I serve as a regular reviewer for NLP conferences (ACL, COLING, EACL (as Area Chair), and EMNLP). Additionally, I have contributed as a reviewer for NeurIPS, ESWC, and ISWC conferences.
