Hi there! I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher working with Boi Faltings, Robert West, and Antoine Bosselut at EPFL. Before EPFL, I completed my Ph.D. under the supervision of Anette Frank in the Department of Computational Linguistics at Heidelberg University and also a part of Research Training Group AIPHES. The core of my research lies at the convergence of Linguistics, Cognitive Science, and AI. My long-term research objective is to imbue machines with human-like communication abilities, as well as commonsense knowledge and reasoning capabilities. Currently, my research focuses on (controllable) text generation, (social) commonsense reasoning, and unsupervised learning.
