I am a third-year Ph.D. student advised by Prof. Dr. Sarah Ebling and Prof. Dr. Rico Sennrich. I work on automatic sign language processing and machine translation as part of the Flagship IICT Project. I have publications in top computational linguistics conferences (including ACL, EMNLP, EACL, LREC-COLING, and WMT) and regularly serve as a reviewer for ACL Rolling Review.
To cope with the visual-gestural nature of sign language, I also study sign language linguistics and computer vision. For the latter, I am now on a research visit at theVisual Geometry Group, University of Oxford, under the supervision of Professor Andrew Zisserman until April 2025.
Since August 2021, I have been a scientific programmer on the SNSF project EVOPHON led by Prof. Dr. Steven Moran. There I developed expertise in phonetics, phonology, and audio signal processing, sometimes even including animal communication.
For prospective collaboration and supervision on a student (master thesis) project, please only write to me with a proposed idea and motivation, ideally attached with a brief CV and transcript to show your capability. I also recommend checking the CL project webpage and mailing list regularly.
I am open to exchange or internship opportunities! A brief CV of mine is here.
Before being intrigued by languages and linguistics ...
I have a solid background in computer science and software engineering. For some years I was mainly engaged in Web development, which makes me experienced in topics including software engineering, computer network, human-computer interaction, programming languages, Web accessibility, and rich-text editors.
