I am a PhD student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology at the Division of Speech, Music and Hearing (TMH) working towards visually grounded language understanding for conversational agents in the context of the WASP-funded RoboGround project. Before starting my doctoral studies in Sweden in 2019, I studied and worked at Tilburg University, completing my MSc degree (cum laude) in 2017 and working as a Junior Researcher (full-time) on the Horizon 2020-funded L2TOR project until 2019. Since 2020 I have been the web dev and admin for SIGdial.
