I am a PhD candidate in the Digital Linguistics group, supervised by Prof. Dr. Lena A. Jäger and Prof. Dr. Rico Sennrich. Conducting research at the intersection of NLP and cognitive science, I am working on creating innovative solutions that enhance language model performance and interpretability. Currently, my research focusses on the cognitive alignment in language models and on diffusion models for synthetic eye movement generation.
