Sergiu Nisioi

Hello!

I am currently an Assistant Professor within the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Bucharest.

My work is related to connected areas of computational linguistics, covering topics such as psycholinguistics, computational learning theory, machine translation, and text simplification. In addition to academic research, for the past ten years I have been deploying machine learning pipelines at scale.

I’m also interested in sound art, algorithmic compositions, DSP, and modular synthesizers: noize maker as part of godwana sound project, diy ecological research for chlorophylla.live, and part of HYPHA.ro.
