Research groups

Natural Language Processing Research Group

The Natural Language Processing Research Group develops, applies and evaluates NLP methods, in particular involving large language models, across various domains. We focus on topics such as privacy, explainability, and domain adaptation.

Learning Analytics and AI for Education Group

The Learning Analytics and AI for Education Group does research on how data-driven methods (learning analytics) can be used to understand and strengthen education. We also study the application of AI technology in educational contexts.

About me

I'm co-leading a natural language processing (NLP) research group where we develop, apply and evaluate NLP methods, particularly involving large language models (LLMs). We focus on topics such as privacy, explainability, and domain adaptation, and are interested in exploring novel applications of LLMs in domains like healthcare and education.

In addition to thesis supervision, I mainly teach courses on AI, NLP, IR, and big data:

  • BIGDATA: Big Data with NoSQL Databases (course responsible)
  • MAIO: Managing AI in the Organization (course responsible)
  • NLP: Natural Language Processing
  • ISBI: Internet Search Techniques and Business Intelligence

Extreme Food Risk Analytics (EFRA)

The aim of this EU project is to increase food safety for citizens. Today there is a wide array of data sources holding crucial information about the food that we eat. The problem is that these sources are heterogeneous – and sometimes hidden. We explore how data can be mined, aggregated and analysed using AI.

Privacy-Preserving Techniques for Large Language Models

Recent breakthroughs in AI have been driven mainly by large language models. While they can be very useful, they also threaten privacy – they leak private information. This project aims to identify these risks and develop privacy-preserving techniques.

Towards Trustworthy Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) power today’s AI assistants, yet they often behave like black boxes. This project explores why LLMs can be unreliable and how explainability methods can make their decisions more transparent, trustworthy and sustainable.
