About me

I am working as an assistant professor with the Social AI Group at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, focusing on multimodal agents for conversational AI. Formerly, I worked with DIS Group at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) and Amazon, focusing on core NLP/IR problems in both industry and academia. I have pursued my Ph.D. with the IRLab at University of Amsterdam, supervised by Prof. dr. Maarten de Rijke and Prof. dr. Pengjie Ren. My interest includes natural language processing (dialogue systems, word embedding, parsing, summarization) and information retrieval (query understanding, recommender system, matcher embedding).
