About

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the User-Centric Data Science group at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, working with Victor de Boer on the HAICU project and as part of the Cultural AI lab. My research focuses on polyvocality and natural language processing, where I develop methods for integrating diverse perspectives and handling epistemic uncertainty in automated narrative generation systems. More broadly, I am interested in critically assessing and improving the multilingual and cross-cultural capabilities of LLMs and VLMs.

Previously, I completed my PhD at the Computational Linguistics and Text Mining Lab of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam on Contextualising Conversational AI, supervised by Piek Vossen and Emiel van Miltenburg. During my PhD, I worked on the Make Robots Talk project and was part of the Explainability track of the Hybrid Intelligence Centre. In 2024, I was a visiting researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute, collaborating with Ana Valdivia on cultural representations in multilingual NLP. I hold an MSc in Speech and Language Processing from the University of Edinburgh, where my thesis was supervised by Rico Sennrich.
