About me

I am a Substitute professor in Computer Science / Natural Langauge Processing at the Technical University of Darmstadt. My research focus is on natural language processing, AI evaluation, NLP for science and education, and responsible AI.

➡️ Starting 2027, I am open for a professorship in Germany or nearby. If you are looking for someone in natural language processing, evals, safety, and AI applications for science, education or (who knows!) synthesizers, let’s get in touch!

Earlier, I worked as a senior postdoc at the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing Lab with Iryna Gurevych. I coordinated and co-advised InterText: a large project about modeling text as a living object in context. You can follow this research here. Before that, I worked on computational linguistics, probing and interpretability. My PhD journey is described here 🎓.

And before that, 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 and human-AI collaboration. I like clever applications of AI for scientific work, education, complex expert tasks and assistive technologies. I love cross-disciplinary research. I am interested in responsible and safe AI: at TU Darmstadt, I teach a large course on AI Ethics in theory and practice, and a seminar on LLM Evaluation methods.

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