About

I am a research associate at the department of computer science and technology, University of Cambridge. My research focuses on natural language processing (NLP) using neural network architectures. I have published a series of papers on modelling the learnability of words using AI methods. I also have a long-standing interest in and active research on modelling preference change using decision theory and co-authored a Cambridge Elements introduction on that topic. Generally, I am interested in using computational methods for understanding human cognition. My background is interdisciplinary and ranges from computer science to philosophy and sociology.
