About me

I am a researcher at Dutch national research institute CWI, working on generative dialogue systems in extended reality (XR) spaces. Formerly, I was an applied scientist at Amazon’s A9 team, working on core NLP/IR in Amazon product search. 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).
