I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Cambridge, where I am supervised by Ryan and Simone. At the moment, I am mainly interested in information theory and its application to the study of machine learning models and linguistics. To this end, I have recently been dabbling in information-theoretic linguistics and probing.
I believe that by improving our knowledge of how NLP methods work, we can improve their performance in non-mainstream languages, empowering the communities that speak them.

I enjoy the few sunny days I get in the UK and I am always looking forward to summer.
