About

I’m an Assistant Professor in the Web Information Systems (WIS) group at the Department of Software Technology, EEMCS faculty, TU Delft. I study human-centered computing for robust AI, with a focus on language technologies. I also co-lead GENIUS, an ICAI lab (part of the national program LTP ROBUST) dedicated to the development and use of Generative AI, and the Delft Design-at-Scale AI lab, which explores AI for societal-scale challenges. Previously, I was a machine learning scientist at Amazon Research in Seattle.

As a computer scientist by training, I’m fascinated by computational means to build intelligence. Practically, I’m interested in building robust intelligence that we can use and rely on in our daily work and life. I believe the critical path towards that is including humans in the computational processes grounded in social contexts. With that idea, I study the creation and operationalization of human-centered computing methods that leverage human conceptual and perceptual abilities—both to make machine reasoning interpretable and to align machine behavior with human values.
