I’m a Machine Learning Scientist at Amazon Alexa AI, based in Berlin, Germany.

I completed my PhD at Informatics Institute, University of Amsterdam. During my PhD, I worked on machine translation and deep learning, advised by Christof Monz and Arianna Bisazza. My PhD thesis can be found here.

Before starting my PhD, I did a master, EMLCT, in computational linguistics at University of Groningen and Charles University in Prague. Marco Wiering and Daniel Zeman were my master thesis supervisors.
