I am Associate Professor in the Computational Linguistics Group at the University of Groningen, where I lead the InClow research group working on Interpretable, Cognitively inspired, Low-resource language models.
I am passionate about the statistical modeling of human languages, particularly in a multilingual context.
My long-term goal is to design robust language processing algorithms that can adapt to the large variety of linguistic phenomena observed around the world.
Among others, I work towards improving the quality of LLM generation tasks in `challenging' languages,
and making state-of-the art NLP systems more interpretable.
As a cross-disciplinary research enthusiast, I'm interested in enhancing research on human language processing or language evolution with computational modeling tools.
Last but not least, I enjoy observing, interacting with, and finding daily inspiration in my two daughters and their trilingual minds in the making.
My research is funded by various Dutch Research Council (NWO) grants. Since 2024 I lead a Vidi project aimed at improving low-resource language modeling, taking inspiration from child language acquisition insights. I am part of two national-consortium projects, both funded by NWA-ORC initiatives: Interpreting deep learning models for language, speech & music (InDeep) and Low Resource Chat-based Conversational Intelligence (LESSEN). I also supervise two China Scholarship Council (CSC)-funded PhD students working on the simulation of human patterns of language learning and change. My earlier research was funded by a Veni grant focusing on understanding and improving the encoding of linguistic structure in Neural Machine Translation models (2017-2021).

[READ THIS BEFORE YOU EMAIL ME] I receive many (many!) emails from bright and ambitious students across the world. Unfortunately, I cannot reply all of them. For undergrad students looking for research internship opportunities: Please save the effort! I don't take any interns from external universities due to an already high supervision load. As for PhD positions, I don't have any openings at the moment. Whenever I do, I will place an ad here.
