I am an SNSF Professor at the University of Zurich working on natural language processing, with a special focus on machine translation and deep learning. My SNSF project focuses on better natural language understanding with multilingual resources and multi-task learning.
I am also a Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and an ELLIS Fellow. I am action editor for Computational Linguistics and ACL Rolling Review, and standing reviewer for TACL. I regularly serve as area chair at main conferences in the field, most recently as senior area chair for ACL 2022 and EACL 2023.
