I am a rising statistician and a data scientist in the final year of MSc Methodology and Statistics at Utrecht University. My primary project is the development of a new feature attribution technique for transformer language models such as BERT which can be used to explain which words, phrases and sentences are driving their predictions. I am always curious and in awe about something. This is reflected in my side projects which I greatly enjoy:

  • Collaboration on an article about best practices in latent class analysis using free open source software
  • Collaboration on the implementation of state-of-the-art feature selection methods for the R package mice (Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations)

Interests:

  • NLP & Text-Mining
  • Algorithmic Fairness & Explainable AI (XAI)
  • Feature Attribution & Feature Selection
  • Deep Learning
  • Systematic Reviews
  • Latent Class Analysis & Structural Equation Modeling

What’s new:

  • Joined the European Workshop for Algorithmic Fairness (EWAF’23) as a proceedings chair
  • Defended MSc Thesis! 🎉
  • The preprint of my recent collaboration with Caspar van Lissa and Mauricio Garnier-Villarreal is out!

Consultation:

I find problem-solving and knowledge-sharing incredibly fulfilling! If you think I might be able to help, don’t hesitate to reach out!
