I am a Senior Researcher in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) at AssemblyAI. I research and develop novel AI models trained on large scale data sets to advance the state-of-the-art in NLP/ASR and improve AssemblyAI’s speech and audio intelligence pipelines.

Prior to joining AssemblyAI, I worked as an AI Research Engineer at InstaDeep’s and BioNTech’s joint AI innovation lab, where I led a team of four engineers to develop AI models for the treatment of cancer and prevention and therapy of infectious diseases, including SARS-CoV-2. I have a Master of Science in Machine Learning from University College London, where I was part of the Deciding, Acting, and Reasoning with Knowledge (DARK) lab, being supervised by Mikayel Samvelyan, Patrick Lewis, and Tim Rocktäschel. Before joining UCL, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Natural Language Processing at the University of Stuttgart under the supervision of Roman Klinger.
