I’m a computational linguist working on computational modeling of cross-lingual figurative language. Using cognitively inspired approaches, I aim to better understand how metaphors function across languages and cultures. I’m particularly interested in how cognitive insights can inform NLP systems for figurative language, bridging theoretical understanding with practical applications.

Currently pursuing a PhD that's funded by the MUDCAT and MeTRapher projects at the University of Stuttgart's Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS), led by Prof. Dr. Sabine Schulte im Walde.
