About me

I am a Visiting professor in Computer Science at the Graz University of Technology. Previously, I was a Substitute professor in Natural Langauge Processing at the Technical University of Darmstadt. My research focus is on AI meta-science and evaluation, natural language processing, AI for critical feedback and responsible AI.

➡️ In 2027, I plan to establish a new research group in Germany or nearby. If you are looking for someone with my profile, let’s get in touch!

Bio

Earlier, I worked as a senior postdoc at the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing Lab with Iryna Gurevych, where I coordinated and co-advised InterText: an ERC Advanced Grant project about modeling text as a living object in context. You can follow this research here. My PhD was about computational linguistics, probing and interpretability and is described 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 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 taught 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.
