I am an Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) in the Department of Computer Science, NLP Section at the University of Copenhagen. I am currenly employed at the University of Copenhagen with special teaching duties dedicated to courses for industry practitioners. I am also co-leading the CopeNLU group with Isabelle Augenstein.
I completed my PhD at the University of Copenhagen under the supervision of Isabelle Augenstein, Jakob Grue Simonsen, and Christina Lioma. My PhD was funded by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship and the PhD Thesis titled "Accountable and Explainable Methods for Complex Reasoning over Text" was awarded two best PhD Thesis Awards by ELLIS and Informatics Europe. I also gained industrial experience during my PhD with two internships at Meta and Google. Furthermore, I conducted an interdisciplinary Postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Copenhagen with Isabelle Augenstein and Christian Borch, where we employed LM explanations to simulate trading behaviors.

Research Highlights
Interpretability of Language Models
Understanding mechanisms of LLMs with some applications to context usage and parametric knowledge.
Explainability Methods
Designing robust and user-aligned explainability techniques that enhance the understanding of complex models.
Factuality in LMs
Addressing the challenge of maintaining factual accuracy in language models.
Opportunities & Supervision
There are opportunities to apply to Danish funding agencies for PhD and Postdoc positions within the group, as well as for visiting researchers. For more information, please see Contact.
