I am currently an Assistan Professor within the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Bucharest
my research seeks to understand human language through computational processes, covering topics from psycholinguistics, computational learning theory, machine translation, and text simplification.
I’m also interested in sound art, algorithmic compositions, DSP, and modular synthesizers; generating tectonic noise as part of godwana sound project
