About me

Hi, I'm interested in Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval and Machine Learning, especially when applied on Social Media and/or informed by Social Sciences.

I attended Twente University in the Netherlands, where I completed my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. In the second year of my bachelor, I won the Echo Beta Techniek Award, giving me the opportunity to attend a summercourse in linguistics at UCLA. My bachelor thesis was on Cross-lingual Information Retrieval.

I then completed the M.S. Program in Language Technologies at Carnegie Mellon University (advisor Carolyn Rosé). In fall 2011 I was a software engineer intern at Facebook.
