I am an assistant professor in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at EPFL. I lead the EPFL NLP group where we conduct research on natural language processing (NLP) systems that can model, represent, and reason about human and world knowledge. I am also on the steering committee of the Swiss AI Initiative and a co-lead of the Apertus project to design large-scale, trustworthy LLMs.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University in the SNAP and NLP groups working with Jure Leskovec and Chris Manning. I completed a PhD in CS at the University of Washington, where I worked with Yejin Choi, and a BEng in EE at McGill University.

I will be taking on new PhD students this year (and next year).
