About me

I'm a PhD candidate at the Centre for Doctoral Training in Natural Language Processing at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Dr Alexandra Birch and Prof Frank Keller. My research interests include language grounding in vision, interpretability of NLP models and multilinguality.

Previously I completed the MSc Speech and Language Processing programme and worked as a research assistant with the StatMT group at the University of Edinburgh.
