About me

I am a researcher in Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence, with a background that combines Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, and Machine Learning.

My work focuses on how language technologies can be evaluated, interpreted, and used reliably in real-world settings. This includes both methodological research on language models and applied NLP systems for complex domains.

Over the years, I have worked across areas such as trustworthy NLP, multimodal analysis, misinformation detection, affective computing, legal and administrative NLP, and NLP for Software Engineering.
