I am a passionate AI researcher with a strong sense of responsibility for making the future a better place. I am currently pursuing my PhD (2023-2027 expected) under the joint supervision of Prof Elliott Ash & Prof Mrinmaya Sachan at ETH, and Prof Markus Leippold at UZH. I divide my time equally between both institutions.

My research focuses on NLP applications for social good. Specifically, I am dedicated to advancing two areas: (1) Fighting misinformation (with a specific interest in scientific communications). This involves claim detection, evidence retrieval, and fact-checking. (2) NLP for climate change, where I am working on creating NLP tools that enhance the transparency and comprehension of climate risks, regulations, and corporate disclosures.

I am also interested in other areas of responsible AI/NLP for social good, such as causal NLP, which contributes to the robustness, interpretability, and fairness of NLP models, and AI alignment, which ensures the reliability and safety of NLP models. I like to shoot for the moon, but I always have my feet on the ground too.

Feel free to contact me if you are seeking colaborations in the aforementioned fields.
