Academic Achievements
- Published multiple papers on sentence-level vector representations; completed a PhD thesis on compositional distributional semantics.
Research Experience
- Worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Language Sciences at Utrecht University, participating in the research project 'A composition calculus for vector-based semantic modelling with a localization for Dutch' led by Prof. Dr. Michael Moortgat, funded by NWO; during his PhD at Queen Mary University of London, focused on several issues in compositional distributional semantics, particularly on sentence-level representations involving ellipsis and anaphora.
Education
- Received a Master's degree in Logic from the Institute of Logic, Language and Computation in Amsterdam in 2014; obtained a Bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence from Utrecht University in 2011; pursued a PhD in the Theory Group of the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Queen Mary University of London, supervised by Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh.
Background
- Currently an assistant professor (tenured) in the Text Mining and Retrieval Group at Leiden University, focusing on sentence-level vector representations, particularly ellipsis and anaphora. Before joining Leiden University, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Language Sciences at Utrecht University.
Miscellany
- Worked at the Software Improvement Group between finishing his Master's and starting his PhD, co-authoring two books on software (team) quality.
