About me

I am a senior postdoc in Natural Language Processing at the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing Lab, Technical University of Darmstadt. I coordinate and co-advise InterText: a large project about modeling text as a living object in context. We create tasks, datasets, methods and applications for cross-document NLP, edit analysis, and AI for peer reviewing assistance. You can follow this research here. Before that, I worked on computational linguistics, probing and interpretability. My PhD journey is described – at length – here 🎓.

Earlier, I studied linguistics at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, and worked as an NLP researcher at the Higher School of Economics, in Russia. I hold a Candidate of Sciences in Mathematical and Applied Linguistics.

Broadly, I am interested in new empirical approaches to AI evaluation, human-AI interaction and collaboration. I like clever applications of AI for scientific work, social science, education, and complex expert tasks. I love cross-disciplinary research. I am interested in responsible and safe AI, and co-lecture a big course on Ethics for NLP and AI, together with Iryna Gurevych.

Even more broadly, I just find it exciting to be a part of a new, rapidly growing discipline. I wonder how our future Science of AI will turn out. I also like sound design, synthesizers and audiovisual art, but this is a story for another website.

➡️ By the way, I am looking for a professorship or equivalent from 2026 on, in Germany or nearby. If you, in turn, are looking for someone in responsible AI, scholarly NLP and human-AI interaction, let’s get in touch!
