welcome!

I'm a PhD student at Center for Information and Language Processing (CIS), at LMU, and a Junior Member of MCML. I'm advised by Hinrich Schütze.

This website is a perpetual work in progress where you can find my amateur sketches, work and research updates, and (someday) a blog.


about me

I am interested in mechanistic interpretability, social bias, and in the intersection of NLP and ethics, linguistics, and queer theory.

Outside of the lab, I like to draw and discovering punk artists around the world.

Before relocating to Munich, I was:

  • a Junior Researcher at Priberam Labs, where I worked with extreme multi-label classification within the medical domain;
  • a MSc student at Instituto Superior Técnico, where I was advised by Luísa Coheur. My work focused on gender inclusivity in Portuguese NLP systems.
