I am a WASP-HS PhD student in the Foundations of Language Processing research group.
My main research area is around computational media studies and various related tasks such as narrative, sentiment and stance analysis. Semantic change between domains and publications is also something I find fascinating. I am curious (yet remain unconvinced) about computational fact-checking and fake news detection. More broadly, I'm interested in most things involving NLP methods as part of mixed-method approaches in computational social sciences. In my thesis work, I am focusing on narratives that manipulate agency (for instance, to anthropomorphise technology or dehumanise people) and the linguistic devices that enable them.
