ML Researcher, TUM, HSLU Informatik
Currently, I am doing my PhD at TUM Computational Social Science team. I am also engaged as a Machine Learning Researcher at HSLU Informatik, with a specialized focus on Natural Language Processing (NLP). My passion lies at the crossroads of NLP and Computational Social Science. In this role, I am dedicated to developing innovative methods that serve as valuable tools for social scientists across various disciplines. My work aims to bridge the gap between advanced machine learning techniques and practical applications in social science research.
I received my Undergraduate degree from the Social Science Department of HSE University in Moscow, and my Master's degree from the Computer Science Department of HSE and Grenoble INP.
I am also organizing AI Tinkerers meetups in Zurich, if you are interested in being a presenter drop me an email!
