Starting in March 2019, I will lead a DFG Emmy Noether research group at University of Stuttgart.
I will remain associated with the SFB 1102 at Saarland University, where I am currently working as a postdoctoral research associate with Prof. Manfred Pinkal. Previously, I worked as a DFG research fellow with Prof. Mirella Lapata and Prof. Dan Roth.
The overarching goal of my research is to develop computational models of language that can facilitate automatic text understanding beyond the sentence level. My recent work has focused on story and script understanding, discourse-level semantic role labelling, and modelling lexical relations using discourse cues.
I received a Ph.D. degree in Computational Linguistics from Heidelberg University and a M.Sc. in Language Science and Technology from Saarland University. After my Ph.D., I held research positions at Stuttgart University, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
