  • About

    I am an Assistant Professor of Cognitive AI at the University of Amsterdam (UvA), based at Amsterdam Brain and Cognition (ABC). I work at the intersection of cognitive (neuro)science and AI, primarily studying how brains and artificial systems understand language and make sense of the world. For more info, see my personal website
