Hello, I am currently a doctoral student at the Language Technology Group, under supervision of Prof. Chris Biemann. A part of my doctoral program is also in cooperation with the SWK Team, under supervision of Prof. Matthias Riebisch.

I am interested in natural language processing, (deep) neural networks, transfer learning as well as efficient methods and implementations regarding the first aspects. For my dissertation, I work on giving access to state-of-the-art NLP methods to the Digital Humanities and Computational Social Sciences by developing easy to use web applications.

Participation in ERC Synergy Grant CultCryo

Whether in logistics, science or air conditioning in the home - the possibility of artificial cooling has a fundamental influence on the world we live in. Yet this "artificial cryosphere" and its consequences, for example for climate change, have hardly been researched to date. The ERC project "CultCryo" aims to change that. It is investigating how the infrastructure of artificial cooling on the...
