That’s me

I’m a PhD student at the Department of Computational Linguistics working on my SNSF funded project Natural Language Processing for Low-Resource Language Variations (LORELAI). From August 2022 until March 2023 I'm visiting the Berkeley Speech and Computation Lab at UC Berkeley.

I’m very much fascinated by dialects and language variations and the challenges they pose for NLP.
