I am an ELLIS PhD student at Saarland University and the University of Edinburgh, working with Prof. Vera Demberg and Prof. Antonio Vergari.

My research focuses on evaluating and improving the reliability of Large Language Models (LLMs). I am specifically interested in understanding the fundamental limitations of LLM architectures through expressivity frameworks and mechanistic interpretability and fixing them to improve LLMs’ reliability in practice.

Previously, I completed my Masters in Computational Linguistics at the University of Tübingen, where I worked with Prof. Detmar Meurers and Dr. Çağrı Çöltekin. Before that, I worked as a Research Assistant at IIT Madras with Prof. Mitesh Khapra.

Outside of the lab, I also help start-ups integrate GenAI into their products. In my free time, I enjoy hiking and reading poetry. I have been learning to play Violin for about a year now.

P.S. If you find me with my violin in my hand, you might want to look for some earplugs ;P
