Research Experience
Before joining Queen Mary University of London, he was a postdoctoral research associate and affiliated lecturer at the University of Cambridge, working with Andreas Vlachos on automated fact verification. He was also a research associate at Fitzwilliam College.
Education
Graduated in 2021 with a PhD thesis from the University of Amsterdam, where he worked with Ivan Titov on building NLP models that incorporate structured data.
Background
His research focuses on automated reasoning (by LLMs and other NLP models) over retrieved evidence, especially for fact-checking and problems with similarly complex epistemology. He is also very interested in modeling structured data sources, such as knowledge graphs, tables, or parse trees. He studies technologies that improve the way we interact with information, whether through question answering systems or fact-checking systems.
