About
I am an Associate Professor of Linguistics at Aarhus University based at the Interacting Minds Center, founding Co-Director of the Center for Language Generation and AI (CLAI), and founding Co-Director of the forthcoming Grundforskningscenter/Center for Excellence TEXT: Center for Contemporary Text Culture.
My research lies at the intersection of linguistic semantics, Natural Language Processing, information theory, and media analytics. As a specialist on applying NLP methods to large scale digital media datasets, I am the PI of the AUFF Starting Grant project Causal Reasoning and Online Science Skepticism (CROSS) and a work package lead on several large data-driven projects.
With Arthur Hjorth, I am also the co-creator of NLP4All, a digital platform for bringing literacy and conceptual understanding of NLP and machine learning to non-specialists, currently deployed in several AU classrooms and regional high schools.
Previously, I was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University (2015–2018) and taught linguistics as a lecturer at UCSD (2014–2015). I received my PhD from the University of Chicago in 2015.
