Biography
University Lecturer in Language Technology and Digital Language Studies. I’m working as a part of the TurkuNLP research group focusing on language technology and natural language processing (NLP) related topics. I got my MSc degree in 2014 and PhD in 2024 (computer science, University of Turku).
Research
My research focuses on language technology, with a particular interest in machine learning based methods for Finnish language processing. I also greatly enjoy and value elementary corpus work and data annotation.
Teaching
I'm involved in teaching language technology related courses at the Department of Computing and Digital Language Studies. I have completed a 25 ECTS study module in university pedagogy between years 2019 and 2021.
