I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher working on dialogue systems research who completed my PhD working on dialogue systems (dialogue management, specifically) in late 2024. Besides dialogue systems research, I specialize in NLP and information retrieval, and before my PhD I worked in industry as a data scientist implementing search and match applications. Projects I've worked on over the years encompass both classic machine learning technologies as well as more recent AI approaches using LLMs and RAG.

I'm currently looking for opportunities both in Germany and the US for after my postdoc ends this year. I'm also happy to connect with anyone for networking on LinkedIn or otherwise!
