About me / Research Statement:

Since September 2022, I am a Doctoral Student under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Anette Frank at the Department of Computational Linguistics at Heidelberg University. My research focuses on understanding the inner workings of language models, an area known as mechanistic interpretability. I am particularly interested in investigating how language is represented within these models and how different languages are organized and structured.
In addition to my work on multilingual language model interpretability, I am passionate about ancient languages. I aim to apply computational linguistics methods to this domain, exploring how modern NLP techniques can be effectively leveraged for literary studies and linguistic analysis of historical texts.
